LOCKPORT – Aidan Tucker, 9, led a Blue Lives Matter march Saturday on the streets of Lockport to show support for the police.

He was joined by dozens of supporters as they walked close to a mile to the Lockport Police Department, waving flags and wearing shades of blue.

Aidan said he wanted to hold the march after watching the news of police officers killed July 7 in Dallas during a protest of police killings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota.

In a speech before the marchers at the police department, Aidan referenced the Dallas slaying of five officers as well as the three officers killed July 17 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

“It makes me sad and scared. If it’s this bad now, will it get worse?” said Aidan, whose father is Cook County Sheriff’s Office deputy. “I am the future. I have to be the one who makes a difference.”

Aidan said people need to support the police and stop the hate.

After calling on several Lockport police officers to join him, Aidan presented them

Police in Grundy County area communities issue warnings about attempted child lurings

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Several Grundy County area police departments have received reports of strangers stopping children in what could be perceived as an attempt to lure them into a vehicle.

Among the first reports was Sept. 7 in Channahon when an 11-year-old boy behind Pioneer Pass School said he was approached by a man who “asked if he wanted a bicycle or a puppy,” Channahon Chief of Police Jeff Wold has said.

Investigators had believed that man may have been the same man who approached two children Sept. 5 in Minooka, but police have since determined that not to be the case.

Minooka Chief of Police Justin Meyer previously said in a statement the children were out about 2 p.m. when a man on a

with a plaque that said “Blue Lives Matter,” followed by the Policeman’s Prayer.

“Thank you for all that you do,” he said.

Blue Lives Matter is a movement supporting police. It developed in reaction to the 2014 killing of two New York City police officers, as well as Black Lives Matter, a movement that campaigns against racism and violence – including from police – toward black people.

Saturday wasn’t the first time the community showed its support for Lockport police. Victoria Crossing subdivision residents in Lockport gave the police treats and gifts Sept. 16, 2015.

Before the march began, Lockport Mayor Steven Streit gave a speech to the crowd, thanking Aidan for having the vision to hold the march.

He said it’s more important than ever to show support for police.

“Officers have just become random targets now and so there’s a heightened sense of anxiety for our police when they come to work knowing that irregardless of how a community is, people might target them,” Streit said.

mountain bike asked whether they wanted his bike or his daughter’s bike that was in his vehicle.

The children in both incidents ran away.

In the Minooka incident, the man read the news release about the encounter, cooperated with police as they investigated and was determined to have not been a danger to the children, according to a second news release posted Friday on Facebook by police. The man was also found not to be connected with any other reports of suspicious vehicles or people.

On Sept. 9, Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said authorities received a report of a suspicious person who approached a child asking where Wendy’s was located.

When officers talked to the boy and his father, the daughter in the family said a man had a week and a half prior asked her where McDonald’s was.

ON THE COVER

Both children report it was a man in a gray vehicle, possibly an SUV or a van, but had few other details.

On Sept. 13, the Seneca Police Department issued a statement on its Facebook account reporting that at about 4 p.m. Sept.

12, a female high school student was approached by a male on Commerce Street by the I & M Canal who was driving a tan older model Buick Le Sabre with some type of green lettering in the back window.

The statement said the driver asked the girl if she knew a Calvin and when she said no, he asked her to get in the car and help him find Calvin. She ran away and contacted police.

On Sept. 14, Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said his department was notified of an attempted child luring incident in Diamond about 11:50 a.m.

MARKING 15 YEARS OF RACING NASCAR fans help celebrate anniversary of Chicagoland Speedway

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Marie Voliva and her friends are an example of a few of the people who have made Joliet a destination point since Chicagoland Speedway opened 15 years ago.

Voliva has been coming from her home in Wisconsin since the track opened in 2001.

Her impression that first year: “It was overwhelming,” Voliva said.

She hadn’t been to a NASCAR race since growing up in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Voliva picked up the sport again, watching on TV. But she had not been to a track for years before Chicagoland Speedway opened.

“When they opened this track, I said, ‘I’m going,’ ” said Voliva, who lived in

Edgerton then and now is a Madison resident.

Now, she and her friends – Cindy Heller of Milwaukee and Sheri Turner of Des Moines – get together every year at Chicagoland Speedway. They have dinner the first night in town at Chicago Street Pub in Joliet, go to the Race Fan Rally downtown and pick up grilling food at the local grocery stores.

“It’s girls’ week,” Voliva said.

“I love it,” said Turner. “It’s the start of the Chase. It’s exciting. We look forward to it each year.”

The Chase for the Cup, NASCAR’s final field of 16 racers competing for a championship at the end of the year, has started in Joliet since 2011.

It’s been one of the biggest developments since the track opened, Chicagoland Speedway general manager Scott

Paddock said.

“We have the kickoff race in the Chase. ... It’s a very coveted position,” Paddock said. “For the first 26 races, all anyone’s talking about is whose going to make the final field of 16 in Joliet.”

Robert Laycoax of Momence agrees that the start of the Chase for the Cup makes the Joliet race especially interesting.

“It being the first Chase race, all the drivers are on their edge,” he said.

Laycoax also goes to Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Michigan International Speedway. But Laycoax said Chicagoland Speedway has certain attractions besides being closer to home.

“Chicagoland has a great view from row one to all the way up,” he said. “You can see the whole track.”

Laycoax is only 22, but he, too, has

come to Chicagoland Speedway every year since it opened. His dad used to bring him, and now Laycoax comes on his own.

Dominick Crum of Ottawa has been bringing his son to Chicagoland Speedway since it opened, which, he said, has been an interesting experience.

“When he first went to the track, his drink of choice was chocolate milk,” Crum said. “Then it evolved to pop and water. Now, he sits next to me and drinks his Coors Light. It’s very humbling.”

Crum was a NASCAR fan who had never been to a track before Chicagoland Speedway opened. He also is a heating and ventilation contractor who landed a contract to test the ventilation

Lockport Gallery to reopen Sept. 24

State, local officials agree on funding

If you go n WHAT: Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery reopening n WHEN: 11 a.m. Sept. 24 n WHERE: Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery, 201 W. 10th St., #1W, Lockport. n COST: Free

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – The Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery has been closed almost a year, but that will soon change.

The state of Illinois on Friday announced that an agreement was reached with the city of Lockport that will allow the Lockport Gallery to open at 11 a.m. Sept. 24 and remain open to the public on a regular basis.

The museum was closed after Gov. Bruce Rauner ordered closures last fall of the Illinois State Museum system – including the Lockport Gallery – to save money amid the state’s budget impasse.

Lockport and state officials have been exploring ways to keep the museum open and financially sustainable. Lockport Mayor Steven Streit commended Rauner and his staff for working together with local government, as well as state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, and state Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, for playing instrumental roles.

The Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery closed its doors Oct. 1, 2015, while lawmakers continued to battle over the state’s budget. The museum is scheduled to reopen Sept. 24.

“This opening demonstrates that government can find creative solutions to budget problems when all parties involved are open to compromise,” Streit said.

Rent of the building, about $24,000 a year, will be split two ways.

The city of Lockport will pay annually $12,000 and the remaining $12,000 will be raised and donated each year

by a foundation started by Illinois State Museum board member Rosemary Winters, Streit said.

“This would not happen be possible without Rosemary,” Streit said.

Winters also praised the various governments and organizations for coming together to develop “an innovative plan to lead the ISM Lockport Gallery into the future.”

“As a member of the board, I would like to thank the City of Lockport for working with us to create a new support structure for the museum.

The enthusiasm of the local community was an inspiring influence,” she said in a news release issued Friday regarding the reopening.

The state will pay employee salaries and utility costs, which are more than just

lights and heat, Streit said.

Humidity control is a significant cost.

The gallery’s opening will coincide with the Lockport Summer Arts Festival and debut a new exhibition, entitled “Open,” that features works of art that express the theme of openness.

The museum will be more accessible, Streit said. It didn’t have weekend hours before, but it will now be open on Saturdays and possibly some Sundays. Admission will still be free.

Regular hours for the gallery will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Streit said the Lockport Gallery brings people to Lockport who spend time, and money, in its nationally registered historic downtown area. He said it also enhances the city’s festivals.

“The campus is a terrific asset to our historic downtown and its economic revitalization,” Streit said.

Special census for Joliet set to start Friday SHAW MEDIA

news@theherald-news.com JOLIET – The special census the city of Joliet is doing is set to start this week in certain parts of town.

The census is expected to start Friday and is limited to neighborhoods that experienced new housing construction during the past six years. As a result, most of the community will be unaware the census is occurring, the city said in a news release issued Friday.

The cost estimate of the census when approved in January by the City

Council was about $99,000, but city officials have said they expect a much greater return than what would be spent.

The census will be done on the far West Side and in one subdivision on the East Side, including a section of the far West Side on both sides of County Line Road and between Black and Caton Farm roads. The census also will count the new Liberty Meadow Estates subdivision on the East Side, according to Herald-News archives.

The federal government does a census nationally every 10 years; the Joliet population in the 2010 Census was

147,433. Municipalities do special censuses with the expectation that they will get more population-based tax revenue, which is based on census counts.

The city could receive additional revenue from the state based upon the number of new residents identified in the census, according to the news release, which helps fund police, fire, and public services.

Current projections indicate Joliet added 1,460 new residents, which would result in an additional $223,000 per year to fund municipal services, according to the news release.

Census enumerators will contact

residents at their homes to conduct interviews. All workers will have a U.S. Census Bureau badge to display their identity, according to the news release, and will ask five questions pertaining to individuals living within each household.

Individual household data is confidential and is used for the purposes of determining total population statistics, according to the news release.

To learn about the Joliet Special Census, call Steve Jones at 815-7243734. For information regarding the Census Bureau, visit www.census. gov/regions/specialcensus.

Judge: Joliet man was insane at time of fatal stabbing

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man was insane when he fatally stabbed his mother and threw her body in the Des Plaines River, a judge ruled Friday.

Prosecutors did not challenge the reports submitted by a psychologist and a psychiatrist that Charles “C.J.” McCullum was psychotic and “unable to appreciate the criminality” of slaying Jeanie Parker on March 20, 2013.

McCullum showed no reaction as Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes pronounced the verdict of “not guilty by reason of insanity” and maintained a

blank expression throughout the proceedings.

Because of her ruling, McCullum will be confined to a mental institution for up to 60 years. Instead of a jury, the judge heard the case as a bench trial.

“This case is a real tragedy for the McCulCharles “C.J.” lum family. The judge arrived at the correct deMcCullum cision,” defense attorney George Lenard said. “Now Mr. McCullum can continue to get the treatment he so desperately needs.”

“Based on all the evidence presented

at trial, it was the right finding,” Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mike Fitzgerald agreed.

Prosecutor Chris Koch noted Illinois law does not allow insanity findings without a trial, as guilty verdicts can be in a plea deal.

McCullum choked Parker in a bedroom at their home in the 100 block of Fifth Avenue, then used two knives to fatally stab her – using a baseball bat to hammer one in.

An autopsy showed Parker suffered more than 100 stab wounds.

Lenard said McCullum had a lifelong history of schizophrenia and had been hospitalized months before his moth-

er’s death and prescribed medication he wasn’t taking.

McCullum told police he felt his mother wanted him to kill his brother and that she needed to be “sacrificed” so he could become a professional basketball player, according to trial testimony.

Though McCullum underwent a third psychiatric exam while he was held at the Will County Jail, prosecutors did not introduce it as evidence during the trial.

Family members declined to comment after the verdict, though one woman gave McCullum a thumbs up as she left the courtroom.

news@theherald-news.com CREST HILL – The city of Crest Hill is looking for a new city administrator.

Mayor Raymond Soliman “regretfully accepted the resignation letter” on Aug. 24 of City Administrator Jim Elmquist, the city said in a news release issued Friday afternoon.

Elmquist was hired by Crest Hill

on March 28 after the city conducted a search for a full-time city administrator.

“Mr. Elmquist expressed his appreciation for the mayor, aldermen and city staff during his time with the city and was grateful for the opportunity,” the news release stated.

Monday’s City Council meeting includes an item to appoint an interim city administrator; Soliman said Heather McGuire, the current city at-

torney/assistant city administrator, will serve as interim.

“It is in the city’s best interest to appoint an interim city administrator with the [spring] election only six months away,” Soliman stated in the news release. “I am confident that Ms. Heather McGuire ... will be able to professionally transition into this position and keep the city moving forward over the next seven months.”

Soliman on Friday declined to comment further until after the vote is taken Monday on the interim position.

McGuire said in the news release she is “looking forward to the chance to manage several ongoing projects that will move the city forward.”

If approved at Monday’s meeting, McGuire will assume the interim duties on Sept. 21, according to the news release.

JOLIET – State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, issued a statement Friday that he said was meant to clarify comments he had made about possible consolidation of state universities.

“I am not aware of any discussions at any level of government about consolidating state universities,” McGuire said in the statement.

McGuire, who chairs the Senate’s Higher Education Committee, had

made the comments during a presentation to the Joliet Junior College board on Tuesday. His presentation was reported in The Herald-News on Friday.

In his presentation, McGuire mentioned suggestions being made about consolidating some of the nine public universities in Illinois. He said Friday that those comments were made “by individuals” but not legislators or anyone in state government. McGuire said he was concerned about the impact of his comments as chairman of the Higher Education Committee.

He did not say in the letter where he was moving. McFarland is rumored to be moving to Frankfort.

In an email sent Sept. 9 to The Herald-News, McFarland said he was moving to Rockdale.

He has not responded to requests for phone interviews, and instead has communicated with brief comments through emails and texts.

O’Dekirk said he had hoped to introduce his selection to fill McFarland’s position to the council this week. The mayor makes appointments to council vacancies, which then go to the council for approval.

“I was going to have that person available on Tuesday,” O’Dekirk said. “I don’t know if that’s going to happen.”

JOLIET – The City Council is slated to discuss the resignation of Councilman Jim McFarland and the vacancy created by his planned departure on Sept. 30.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk is considering announcing a replacement for McFarland as early as Tuesday, although he said that is tentative.

The vacancy is on Jim the agenda for both the McFarland Monday and Tuesday meetings of the Joliet City Council.

The item was put on the agenda while the city was still waiting for an official resignation from McFarland and as questions have arisen as to whether he has already moved out of the city.

“You have to be a city resident to be on the City Council,” O’Dekirk said.

McFarland in an email to The Herald-News on Friday said: “Joliet residents can rest assured my residency

is in city limits until Sept. 30th.”

McFarland, who has sold his house, said in emails that he is renting a residence on Emery Street in Joliet.

He also said he emailed a copy of a notarized resignation letter that was dated Friday and addressed to O’Dekirk. He had sent a resignation letter to the city manager on Sept. 9, but state law requires a notarized letter to the mayor.

Both O’Dekirk and City Manager Jim Hock said that as of Friday afternoon, they had not yet seen the letter.

“Council wanted the item on the agenda just to press the issue,” Hock said. “Plus, the question is whether or not he can vote on anything if he has moved out of the city already and is no longer a resident.”

O’Dekirk would not comment on McFarland’s current residency.

“I think this is probably going to unfold in the next couple of days,” he said.

McFarland in his letter said his resignation is effective Sept. 30 “due to my family’s relocation to a different community.”

LOCAL BRIEFS Minooka man charged with sex assault, domestic battery

MINOOKA – The Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office has charged a man from unincorporated Minooka with aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated domestic battery.

Kendall County sheriff’s deputies took a report Sept. 14 of allegations of sexual assault and ongoing domestic violence of a female by her spouse, police said. The assaults took place over the last several months at a home in the 3000 block of Route 52 in Minooka, police said.

“The victim alleged that during one of the assaults, her spouse pointed a handgun at her,” Sheriff’s Office spokesman Deputy Mike Mrozek said.

The State’s Attorney’s Office on Friday charged Richard Cleveland, 57, of Minooka, with three counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, all Class X felonies; one count of aggravated domestic battery, a Class 1 felony; and one count of aggravated assault with a firearm, a Class A misdemeanor. Cleveland was in custody at the Kendall County Jail in Yorkville awaiting a bond hearing.

Seneca man lost home in tornado; finds new friends

“The shock of that night is still with me. But thanks to many people, I’m on my own two feet again and working toward the future. And to know that people cared was just as important as the things people gave me.”

By STEVE STOUT

The (Ottawa) Times

Rodney Seibert

Tom Sistak – Ottawa Times

Rodney Seibert, who survived the tornado that destroyed his rural Seneca, Ill., rental home and took most of his possessions on June 22, 2016, unpacks his few remaining belongings on Aug. 24 at his new home in Marseilles, Ill. Soubrette, a carpenter by trade, said his ongoing recovery was only made possible by the generosity of the community.

Instead, Seibert has now moved into a new rental home in Marseilles and has remodeling work lined up to help him and his three employees in the near future.

Seibert said his new landlord also has arranged some work for his company, P.L.S. Remodeling, and his small crew, which should help them through the lean winter months.

“The shock of that night is still with me,” he admitted. “But thanks to many people, I’m on my own two feet again and working toward the future. And to know that people cared was just as im-

portant as the things people gave me. I knew people would probably help me, but I was surprised how many actually did. It has all been very nice.”

Seibert said he also appreciated the kindness and assistance of his former landlords, the Maierhofer family of Seneca, as he picked up the broken pieces of his life. He had no renter’s insurance and only liability on his work van, which was a total loss after the storm.

“The entire Maierhofer family made sure I was taken care of and were very helpful after the tornado even though they had tremendous home and prop-

erty damage of their own to deal with,” said Seibert. He also thanked friend and business client Jennifer Bilyeu, who arranged a savings account at MB Financial Bank in Seneca for donations and set up a GoFundMe page at gofundme. com/senecatornado.

Seibert said he has used some of the money out of the bank and a few dollars from the GoFundMe site. As of Friday, the internet site still had $2,321 available to him.

He said it was difficult to drive past the now-empty lot where his home and workshop once sat.

“The house, the big trees, the workshop are all gone, leveled and hauled away. It is hard to see that the place I lived at for so long is no longer there.”

Asked why does he think he survived the tornado, he said, “God wanting me on a different path and, right now, every day, I am following his lead on that path. I have work every day on the job or here at the new house, and that’s great because I need to keep my employees busy and my customers happy.

“It just wasn’t my time yet. I know God stayed with me that night and, I guess, he is still looking over my shoulder. The storm changed my life and completely drained me, but, so far, it has been way better than I thought it would be. There are so many people to thank.”

SENECA – Two months ago, Rodney Seibert survived a tornado, which swept across North Central Illinois and La Salle County, but his rental home and the majority of his personal belongings, including his cargo van and work tools, did not.

On Aug. 24, Seibert explained it was through compassion of the local community he is succeeding in his recovery.

Interviewed in the wake of the storm, Seibert, a self-employed contractor, carpenter and cabinet maker, explained he considered himself and other storm-affected neighbors to be fortunate people, despite his personal loss.

No local persons were injured in the June 22 storm.

Standing in the rubble of the rural Seneca house where he had lived for almost 10 years, Seibert, who survived the tornado by running to his home’s basement, said, “Satan was outside my door that night. He was screaming.

I thought he had come for me. I never heard anything like it.”

On Aug. 24, Seibert unpacked boxes in his new place.

“I am so grateful for the generosity of the community, of my friends – even strangers – who have given me furniture, a computer, tools, some money and other things to help give me a new start in a new place. I wouldn’t have known what to do, who to turn to. Without them, I’d probably be living in some campground someplace.”

Minooka Community High School D-111 board OKs budget

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – The fiscal 2016-17 budget was approved Thursday by the Minooka Community High School District 111 school board.

Total expenses for the budget are $40.12 million, which is an increase of $1.63 million over last year’s expenses, and revenues total $41.31 million, which is an increase of $4.26 million over last year’s revenues.

However, the district’s operating funds – which consist of the education, operations and maintenance, transportation and working cash funds – have a combined deficit of $1.38 million.

The district has been in the red for some time now, but Assistant Superintendent of Business John Troy said the district’s coffers have adequate reserves from the $12 million in general obligation bonds issued in 2015 to cover the deficiency.

Troy said the district spent less than he expected during the past year in several areas, including life safety work, of which $775,000 was budgeted, and $519,290 was spent. Also last year, $500,000 was budgeted for capital projects, but $353,700 was spent from that fund.

Fewer dollars were also spent in the education fund, operations and maintenance, and the transportation funds.

For this fiscal year, $24.38 million is budgeted for education expenses, which is more than $1 million more than was spent in the fund last year.

Troy said planned staff raises of 3 percent across the board were included in the calculations.

Is it an Allergy?

There are no planned capital projects for the district this year, although $300,000 was budgeted for emergency expenditures.

Troy will also be preparing a plan to work toward balancing the district’s budget.

“The board has directed me to present a finance projection/plan in December that illustrates a balanced budget in the next three to four years,” Troy said before the meeting.

Also at Thursday’s meeting:

• It was announced that Troy was named as a representative to the state’s Delegate Advisory Committee to the Wilco Area Career Center.

• Community Relations Director Dave DiLorenzo told the board about health screenings students will undergo this month and next.

On Sept. 20 and 21, MCHS juniors and seniors whose parents have consented will undergo three-minute electrocardiograms in a program sponsored by Morris Hospital called, “Rhythm of our Youth.” Freshmen and sophomores will take the tests Oct. 25 and 26.

Participation in the program is free to the students, as costs are covered by the Morris Hospital Foundation.

DiLorenzo said Morris Hospital physicians will be there to screen the results and give immediate feedback.

The screenings are intended to detect existing cardiac abnormalities in the teens. According to the Morris Hospital and Healthcare Center’s website, sudden cardiac death claims more than 2,000 lives of children and adolescents in the U.S. each year.

LOCAL BRIEF Children’s seminar on respect to be held in Joliet

JOLIET – The Roger W. Powell Children’s Committee will hold a free seminar for children from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday at Golden Corral, 2100 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet.

He said deputies took a report of a white male driving an older model gray minivan who was attempting to lure kids into his vehicle. The vehicles reported in the Diamond and Elwood incidents are of similar style.

“We have shared information with other agencies and there is nothing we can say connects these incidents,” Hayes said.

Hayes said it is hard to be anywhere and not be on camera, whether it’s a home surveillance camera or a business. His officers were looking at video captured on the day of the incident.

Callahan said his deputies are doing the same.

“Fortunately the village of Diamond has security cameras and deputies are viewing those videos today,” Callahan said Friday.

The seminar is for children ages 4 to 17. The agenda for the meeting includes teaching children respect, how to best use their time, the importance of punctuality, how to develop positive relationship, and self-discipline and motivation.

Department posted on its Facebook page that a girl had been approached by a male driving a four-door, older white Jeep Cherokee on Clark Street. The male asked the girl whether she wanted a free newspaper, and when she said no, he followed her a short distance on foot before returning to his vehicle. He was described as white, about 5 feet 8 inches, wearing black glasses and with a “chubby” build. Another person called Marseilles police to report seeing a similar vehicle – with stickers on its rear window – being driven by a white male Friday, circling the West Bluff Street and Williams Street area.

Morris Police Deputy Chief John Severson said the department has taken a couple of calls about suspicious vehicles but no one has reported any specific attempts.

One report said a car driven by a male stopped to ask a student whether they needed a ride home from the bus stop, but police believe it was a neighbor offering a ride.

Sandack says he was victim of international crime ring wire money to this person. On July 14, the imposter had created a duplicate Facebook account in his name, followed by another demand for money. Sandack filed a police report that day.

Sandack, who represented the 81st House District, initially said he resigned because of “cyber security issues.”

He also deleted his social media accounts. The incident came months before a re-election bid against Ron Sandack Democratic challenger and Downers Grove Village Board member Greg Hosé.

In his statement, Sandack said he “took the bait hook, line and sinker” and counterfeit accounts were created, jeopardizing his online identity.

“Nonetheless, I was a victim,” he said. “Poor decisions on my part enabled me to be a victim and, as a responsible citizen, I reported it and have been working with the police throughout their investigation. I want it to be clear that no aspect of my involvement in this incident was related to my position as a state representative nor was the computer state property.”

DOWNERS GROVE – A former state representative says he was the victim of a crime ring from the Philippines focused on luring high-profile individuals to engage in inappropriate online conversations for extortion.

According to a statement issued Friday by a spokesman, former state Rep. Ron Sandack said the police investigation of an incident that caused him to abruptly resign in July was completed.

“I’m human. I made a mistake for which I am remorseful and ashamed; especially because I have hurt my family, and there is no greater self-inflicted wound than that,” he said in the statement.

According to a report provided Sept.

16 by the Downers Grove Police Department, Sandack received a Facebook friend request July 7. Five days later, he had several conversational messages over the span of several hours.

Later that day, he connected with someone claiming to be the user of the Facebook account via video messaging service Skype and was told he should

ccording to recent studies conducted

by Johns Hopkins Medical Institute, type 2 diabetes now affects almost 10 percent of our nation’s population – a number that continues to rise.

In fact, it’s one of the fastest growing diseases in America. Because of this unfortunate reality, researchers have said that most people will eventually need drug treatment, which often comes with a list of adverse, life changing side effects.

The good news: there are other solutions to

help combat type 2 diabetes, and they’re offered a lot closer to home than you may think.

Ostir Physical Medicine devotes much of its time treating chronically ill patients – especially those with type 2 diabetes. With 26 years of experience, the Joliet based practice continues to utilize cutting-edge technology to help restore patients’ health.

Ostir Physical Medicine is now offering natural, drug-free solutions to type 2 diabetes that help empower diabetics to lower their

numbers and enjoy living again. Developed in conjunction with Functional Medicine of America, these remarkable treatments may stop the suffering and irreversible damage caused by diabetic drugs, offering solutions that may reduce the risk of losing your vision, toes and kidneys.

The natural solutions were initially uncovered over a 20-year period of research with patients in a clinical setting.

Ostir Physical Medicine is the first clinic in the Joliet area to offer these innovative treatments.

“Our patients say the results are fantastic,” said Dr. Ostir. “In time, it’s our hope to make the Joliet area the first ‘diabetes-free zone’ in the country.

“It’s my goal for each of our patients’ medical doctors to look them straight in the eye and tell them, ‘You are no longer a diabetic.’”

Dr. Ostir is a member of the Functional Medicine of America.

wonderful. My broken leg is now better than my good one — and I had a knee replacement years ago on it. The therapy was exceptional and the 24-hour nurses and CNAs were so helpful and patient. They pay attention to the littlest details and respond quickly. I can’t say enough about the food – there is such a variety. Three wonderful meals a day with restaurant service is just amazing.

Jim and Debbie Van Convene from Buffalo, New York, made their first trip to Chicagoland Speedway this year. They go to other NASCAR tracks and were enjoying their experience in Joliet while sitting at the Port-A-Party bar that offered shelter from a light rain during the noon hour on Friday.

Jim showed a cellphone shot of himself with racer Danica Patrick, adding, “That was the first selfie I ever took.”

“Everybody here is friendly and accommodating,” Debbie said, mentioning how much she appreciated many golf cart drivers carrying fans from the parking lots to the track.

Said Jim, “We’ll probably come back again.”

OBITUARIES REV. JAMES EDWARD ALLEN

Born: Nov. 30, 1931 Died: Sept. 13, 2016

Jim Allen, age 84, of Joliet, passed away Sept. 13, 2016, at Joliet Area Community Hospice Home after a multi-year struggle with dementia.

Former pastor of Joliet’s Ottawa St. United Methodist Church, Jim will be remembered as an active, enthusiastic community leader, having served and led many religious, social service and community organizations during his 36 years in Joliet.

Survived by Nancy, his loving wife of 57 years; children, Beth Ann (Mark) Thelo of Channahon and Paul (Megan) Allen of Ithaca, NY; and grandchildren, Bennett and Grace Thelo.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Jacob and Marguerite Allen.

Born Nov. 30, 1931, in Canton, Jim graduated from Indiana Central College and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, OH. During his 41 years with the United Methodist Church, he served congregations in Good Hope, Ransom, Plainfield, Shannon, Sycamore, Savanna and Joliet.

In 1985, Jim conceived of and founded Joliet/ Will County Project Pride (now Project Acclaim) with other community leaders to promote the positive elements of life in the Joliet area. Jim lived the teachings of Norman Vincent Peales’ “Power of Positive Thinking” and many will

remember the brightly colored cards that he handed out encouraging a positive mental attitude.

Many have attended classes, workshops, or support groups led by him over the years. Jim listened to, counseled and encouraged all God’s people, but especially those with greatest need – the downcast, disabled, aged and grieving.

Jim sought global perspective and relationships through pastoral exchanges to England and Australia in addition to service and educational trips to Chile, South Africa and the Holy Land.

Jim served on the boards and in the leadership of many community organizations, including Joliet/Will County Project Pride, Salvation Army, YMCA, Catholic Charities, American Red Cross, Senior Services Center, Rotary, Community Services Council and Joliet Ecumenical Clergy Association. He was chaplain for Joliet Area Community Hospice, Center for Correctional Concerns at Will County Adult Detention Facility and Silver Cross Hospital.

The Joliet community recognized Jim’s contributions in many ways, including Joliet Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award, Joliet Catholic Diocese Pax Joliet Award, Senior Services Center Shining Star Award, Joliet/Will County Project Pride Hall of Pride inductee, Community Services Council Human Services Award, Daybreak Volunteer of the Year and Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities Mary Linden Award.

Visitation will be at Channahon United Methodist Church, 24751 W. Eames, Channahon, on Sunday Sept. 18, 2016, 2 to 6 p.m. and Monday

Sept. 19, 2016, 10 to 11 a.m. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held 11 a.m. Monday Sept. 19, 2016, at Channahon United Methodist Church, with interment at Elmhurst Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to be directed to Joliet Area Community Hospice or Joliet Area Historical Museum.

Playwright Edward Albee dies at age 88 The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee, who challenged theatrical convention in masterworks such as “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “A Delicate Balance,” died Friday, his personal assistant said. He was 88.

He died at his home in Montauk, east of New York, assistant Jackob Holder said. No cause of death was immediately given, although he had suffered from diabetes. With the deaths of Arthur Miller and August Wilson in 2005, he was arguably America’s greatest living playwright.

Several years ago, before undergoing extensive surgery, Albee penned a note to be issued at the time of his death: “To

all of you who have made my being alive so wonderful, so exciting and so full, my thanks and all my love.”

Albee was proclaimed the playwright of his generation after his blistering “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” opened on Broadway in 1962.

The Tony-winning play, still widely considered Albee’s finest, was made into an award-winning 1966 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

The play’s sharp-tongued humor and dark themes were the hallmarks of Albee’s style. In more than 30 plays, Albee skewered such mainstays of American culture as marriage, child-rearing, religion and upper-class comforts.

“If you have no wounds, how can you know you’re alive?” a character asks in Albee’s 1996 “The Play About the Baby.”

JOSEPH MICHAEL McKEON Joseph “Mike” McKeon, esteemed political strategist, pollster and analyst, and a lifelong Joliet resident, passed away on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016, at Edward Hospital in Naperville, at the age of 73.

Joseph Michael “Mike” McKeon wasn’t the person candidates wanted in the room.

He was the guy they needed in the room.

Republicans and Democrats alike from across Illinois and the country depended on McKeon to have the pulse of the electorate.

They relied on him for his bluntness, his street smarts and his political savvy. “He always knew who to talk to and what questions to ask,” said Illinois State Senator Bill Brady, who called on McKeon for polling and strategy in Illinois gubernatorial races. “He was brilliant in his profession. He was blunt, always 200 percent committed and never walked away from a fight.”

McKeon, constantly ingrained in the nation’s political process, polled national and statewide races from coast to coast. He was nationally recognized for his astute ability to identify national and international trends and bake them into winning marketing and political strategies. “It was Mike who predicted David Duke was rising in voter approval in a run for Congress years ago,” said Chicago journalist Carol Marin, who considered McKeon a colleague and a friend.

“And it was Mike who saw the tribal power of social media a long time before the rest

of the so-called political geniuses figured it out.” McKeon was ahead of his time in analyzing moods and trends among voters.

He penned a Washington Post column in 1994 in which he outlined the evolving media landscape and the way digital technology was supplanting traditional forms of communications. McKeon also predicted the rise of Donald Trump in 2015, early on in the Republican primary race, when others scoffed at his chances.

In an email to friends last year, McKeon wrote: “The rule is – if you don’t understand the hard reality of what the truth is – of what is on the ground – you will perish.”

“He wasn’t a partisan looking for proof in the polling,” said Thom Serafin, pesident and CEO of Chicago-based communications firm Serafin & Associates. “The polling told him where the world was. When the internet was barely an infant, he was already talking about global communication and how people would get their information.” “Mike was kind of like the Dick Butkus of politics,” said Jim “Skinny” Sheahan, a longtime political player in Chicago. “He was full speed ahead all the time, knew where he was going and what to do.”

McKeon, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, formed his global public opinion research and strategic marketing firm, McKeon & Associates, in 1973. His polling and analysis of the changing American cultural paradigm have been featured in nearly all major media outlets around the globe. He led research and strategy for more than 700 political candidates on both sides of the aisle and had major corporate clients such as Gatorade, ComEd, Walmart and the Chicago Bulls. McKeon’s sharp political analysis and visionary intelligence eventually brought him to “Saturday Night Live,” on which he served as a political script consultant for many years. “Mike had great instincts, and it just wasn’t about what he polled,” said Paul Vallas, who hired McKeon during his run for Governor of Illinois in 2002. “It was about what he thought instinctively. He was one of the sharpest guys on the block and had great integrity as a political consultant.”

“Mike never sugarcoated a thing in his life,” said Brooke Anderson, an executive at Uber who worked with McKeon on political campaigns. “He was as comfortable with the Prime Minister of Israel as he was on the streets of Joliet as a rough and tumble kid.”

McKeon is survived by his daughters, Meghan (Bucky) Moreno and Zora Baron; four grandchildren, including his loving twin granddaughters, Sophia and Isabella Moreno, and Joe and Lauren; his brothers and sisters, Linda (Kenneth) Joslin, Lynn (Edward) Masters, Robert (Linda) Conrad and Cary J. Conrad; an numerous nieces and nephews. He will be missed by his faithful friends Jimmy Wheeler and Tim McAnarney.

A memorial gathering for Mike will be held Friday, Sept. 23, 2016, from 2 to 7:30 p.m. at Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 3200 Black at Essington roads, Joliet, with a memorial

STATE WWII probe of Tribune testimony could go public Maryland historian is writing book about fallout from 1942 story CHICAGO TRIBUNE CHICAGO – A Maryland historian is a step closer in his fight for the release of decades-old grand jury testimony involving a story the Chicago Tribune published during the World War II Battle of Midway, the newspaper reported.

The story, published June 7, 1942, said the U.S. Navy obtained advance knowledge of the Japanese fleet’s plans. It included precise details such as the names of the Japanese vessels involved in the battle and details of their strategy. The story sparked out-

News from across the state

Suspect arrested in shooting of man watering lawn

CHICAGO – Police in Chicago have arrested a suspect in the robbery and shooting of a 71-year-old man who was attacked while watering his front yard.

A news release from the Chicago Police Department said officers arrested 30-year-old Antoine J. Davis outside his home Friday afternoon.

He was charged with felony counts of armed robbery and aggravated battery with a firearm. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

The Sept. 6 attack was caught on home surveillance video. It shows two men riding up to the man on bicycles. One of them shoves him to the ground, shoots him in the abdomen and rifles through his pockets before riding off.

The wounded man was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery.

rage and a grand jury was impaneled to seek criminal charges against the journalists for violating espionage laws. No indictment was handed up and the testimony was sealed.

Historian and author Elliot Carlson is close to revealing that testimony, The Tribune reported. The U.S. Justice Department has been fighting back, contending that court rules do not permit the release of confidential grand jury records simply because they are of historical interest. Doing so, it said, would undermine the principle of grand jury secrecy.

So far, the courts have sided with Carlson. A federal district judge in Chicago last year ruled in favor of the author, and on Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that decision.

The Justice Department could still seek a hearing from the entire appel-

The investigation was prompted by a shooting on Sept. 10 involving 32-yearold Michael Arquero. According to Chicago police, Arquero was at a taco stand when 18-year-old Louis Rodriguez opened fire from a passing auto, wounding Arquero. The wounded man returned fire, killing Rodriguez.

Cook County state’s attorney spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said the office determined Arquero shot in self-defense.

However, he was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and ordered held on $2 million bond.

Illinois State Police has learned Arquero has a second identity under the name Michael Trivasano, under which he is a documented gang member, with multiple convictions for gun charges.

It wasn’t immediately known whether Arquero has legal representation.

“I have a manuscript that’s complete but for the last chapter.

I want it to be finished as soon as possible.”

Elliot Carlson

Maryland historian and author late court or take the case to the Supreme Court. It declined to comment.

Carlson is writing a book about the Tribune story and its fallout, and he has spent four years trying to get the records.

“I have a manuscript that’s complete but for the last chapter,” he said.

“I want it to be finished as soon as possible.”

The 1942 Tribune story was based on the work of correspondent Stanley Johnston, who came across a decoded message giving details about the Japanese fleet and its movements while

he was aboard a Navy transport in the Pacific.

The ship landed in San Diego on June 2, 1942. Four days later, news of the Battle of Midway broke. The Tribune quickly published a story about the Navy’s advance knowledge.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt was furious. The government was worried that the Japanese would learn their code had been broken.

But Carlson said that apparently never happened because its navy continued to use the same compromised code until the end of the war.

Rural communities get $25M in federal grants, loans

CHICAGO – Rural communities across Illinois are receiving federal grants and loans worth more than $25 million for economic development and local infrastructure projects.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin announced the funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday. He said the money will create good-paying jobs and help protect public health.

Greene County Rural Water in Carrollton and Jersey County Rural Water Company in Jerseyville each are receiving grants through the Emergency Community Water Assistance Program. They’ll use the money to restore areas damaged by heavy rains and flooding.

A separate federal loan program helps towns with fewer than 10,000 residents develop drinking water and waste disposal systems.

Seven communities or water cooperatives are receiving loans. They include the city of Monticello, Mound City and the village of Palmyra.

Donald Trump glosses over past actions, hopes voters do same

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With each scripted speech, shift in policy and attempt to whitewash his past behavior, Donald Trump is brazenly betting that voters now settling on their choice for president are willing to shove aside all that came before his late-in-the-campaign recalibration.

It’s a deeply uncertain proposition given Trump’s staggeringly negative standing with most Americans. Polls find more than half believe the Republican nominee is unqualified to be president, and is biased against women and minorities.

But his strategy doesn’t require moving huge segments of the electorate.

Seven weeks from the Nov. 8 election and with absentee ballots already available in a few states, Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton are fighting for a small sliver of undecided voters who, in many cases, simply can’t stomach either.

“What these candidates are trying to convince the voters of is, ‘I’m not as bad as the other one,’” said Neil Newhouse, a Republican pollster.

In recent weeks, Trump’s attempts to make that case have sometimes left him looking like a candidate with little resemblance to the one who stunned the Republican Party during the primaries.

He now largely reads speeches off teleprompters despite casting aspersions on other politicians for relying on the devices. He’s rolled out proposals on policies in which he’s shown no previous interest, including child care and paid family leave. And he’s made overtures to minorities, including blacks and Hispanics, groups with whom he has minimal support.

Trump’s latest attempt to convince voters that he’s the lesser of two evils came Friday, when he abruptly reversed course on his lie that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

Trump’s role as chief promoter of the conspiracy theory about the nation’s first black president has left him with almost no support among African-Americans and has turned off moderates who bristle at its racist undertones.

Trump’s newfound acceptance of Obama’s birthplace seems unlikely to sway many of those voters. He offered no apology for pushing the falsehood for years and instead said the rumors originated with Clinton, another inaccurate claim.

“Despite what his campaign strategists told him to say today, I think he still believes that the president wasn’t born in America,” said Dan Pfeiffer, a former Obama adviser who was tasked with releasing the president’s long-form birth certificate to reporters in 2011.

Clinton advisers say their data show no fundamental shift in the public’s perception of Trump, despite preference polls that are tightening nationally and in some battleground states. They believe a summer spent blasting the airwaves with television ads highlighting Trump’s bellicose behavior and questionable business practices, as well as a series of sharply critical speeches from Clinton, have largely cemented voters’ negative view of the real estate mogul and made it impossible for his pivot to take hold.

“Trump has been defined,” said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster. She said that’s particularly true among women, who “think he’s the worst date they’ve ever been on.”

A recent Quinnipiac poll found 59 percent of likely voters believe the way Trump talks “appeals to bigotry.” Among likely women voters, 62 percent held that view.

FDNY: 26 hurt in apparent explosion

By KAREN MATTHEWS The Associated Press

Witnesses said FBI and Homeland Security officials, along with the ATF arson and explosives task force also were at the scene.

A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that the FBI’s joint terrorism task force was responding and that investigators did not believe the incident was due to a gas leak. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and requested anonymity.

The White House said President Barack Obama has been apprised of the explosion in New York City and will be updated as additional information becomes available.

The reports of a possible blast come hours after a pipe bomb exploded in Seaside Park, New Jersey, shortly before thousands of runners participated in a charity 5K race to benefit Marines and sailors. No injuries were reported.

NEW YORK – An apparent explosion in a crowded Chelsea neighborhood of New York City on Saturday night left 26 people with minor injuries, authorities said.

Police spokesman J. Peter Donald said on Twitter that the explosion happened at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday on West 23rd Street, which is a major thoroughfare with many restaurants.

He said several people were taken to hospitals with injuries. The Fire Department tweeted that none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening.

No detail about the extent of damage was immediately available. A number of New York City subway routes have been affected by the incident.

Chris Gonzalez, visiting from Dallas, was having dinner with friends at a restaurant in the area.

“We felt it, we heard it, the restaurant went real quiet, the 26-year-old Associated Press writers Maria Gonzalez said. “It wasn’t like jolting or Sanminiatelli in New York and Eric anything, everyone just went quiet.”

Tucker in Washington contributed.

BUSINESS

Dear Mr. Berko: What is your opinion of ADP LLC? The stock seems stuck at the same price it was a year ago. I’m 52. My portfolio is about 80 percent blue chip industrials and utilities, and I’d like a little more action.

The company’s business seems boring, and I can’t imagine this stock being worth $200 in 10 years as my stockbroker believes it will be.

My broker is bullish on ADP, and she’s pushing me (nicely) to buy 300 shares because it has “exceptional growth potential over the next decade.” I have plenty of cash, but I can’t see myself owning a company that does human resources business for other businesses. What do you think?

Any recommendations? – LJ, Vancouver, Washington Dear LJ: Sometimes the best gifts

come in small packages, and sometimes the best stocks are big companies involved in the most tedious, boring and unimaginative businesses.

Buy ADP, and consider writing call options on your portfolio of blues for more excitement.

ADP (ADP-$86.67) is the world’s largest provider of human resources management and software services.

The company – with 300 clients, 125 employees and $400,000 in revenues – went public in 1961 with a

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko 100,000-share IPO at $3. Frank Lautenberg, who had become CEO of ADP in 1952 and was quite wealthy, continued as chairman and CEO until elected to the U.S. Senate from New Jersey in 1982. By 1993, each $3 share had evolved into 144 shares, worth a total of $7,000. That’s just slow, not boring. Today, after several splits, that original share is worth about $94,000.

That’s not boring, either.

At a glance, ADP seems to be among the most monotonous, uneventful and dull companies listed on the Big Board. But this year, ADP, with more than 610,000 clients, should report record revenues of $11.8 billion, report record share earnings of $3.25, and pay a record dividend of $2.12.

Though new growth from payroll clients is slow, management has increased its customer base by 3 percent annually during the past decade. This was possible because 28 percent of ADP’s revenues now derive from overseas expansion, which was initiated 10 years ago.

Today, ADP does business in 111

countries, and overseas growth is expanding at 8 percent a year.

About 77 percent of ADP’s business derives from its handling of payroll and tax services, and its aggressive professional employer organization, or PEO, division, which provides comprehensive HR solutions for smaller companies, generates 23 percent of ADP’s revenues and is growing rapidly.

What’s exciting about investing money in a company with 57,000 worldwide employees that cross-sells ancillary human resources services into its payroll processing base? And why should you invest in a company that depends on revenues from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act to boost profits from its core employer services segment?

The answer is simple: steady double-digit revenue and profit potential because of the 80,000 new pages of risible, back-busting, business-inhibiting federal laws and regulations concocted

by Congress and the executive branch each year. Given that, ADP’s PEO model becomes a company’s dedicated HR arm and benefits administration partner. Because ADP’s job is to understand the numerous quirky changes, it can effectively deliver a broad range of HR services through

this co-employment model.

And the resulting double-digit growth should ensure steady and long-term gains in revenues, earnings and dividends. Because the innumerable new HR regulations (health care, pensions, workers’ rights, etc.) are becoming increasingly complex, PEO is becoming an increasingly profitable revenue growth provider. And most small businesses can’t afford to staff an expert HR department.

Because you can handle a $28,000 investment, take your broker’s outstanding advice, which should generate substantial long-term principal appreciation. ADP’s $2.12 dividend yields a yucky 2.4 percent. But that dividend has increased in each of the past 40 years and has grown sixfold since 2000. ADP has a strong balance sheet, has only $200 million in debt and has spent over $1 billion in buybacks this year. This broker sounds like a good gal, and she has given you excellent advice. It’s my observation that distaff brokers give better investment counsel than their male counterparts.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Xfinity store to open in Joliet

JOLIET – Comcast announced recently plans to open an XFINITY store in Joliet later this year at 2802 Plainfield Road in the Louis Joliet Pointe Shopping Center.

The 4,800-square-foot space will be designed to give visitors real life, handson demonstrations of XFINITY’s range of products and services, from cable TV, high-speed Internet and home phone services, to the company’s home security and home automation platform, according to a news release from the company.

The store also will feature iPads and other mobile devices visitors can use to explore XFINITY’s Android and iOS apps.

“The new store will give our employees the ability to demonstrate our latest products and services and educate visitors about how to use all of their great new features,” John Crowley, Comcast’s Greater Chicago Region senior vice president, said in the news release. “In addition, the store will have comfortable seating areas that allow visitors to settle in and experience XFINITY products and services

Along with product and service demos, customers will be able to pay bills, pick up and return equipment and get assistance from trained, knowledgeable sales and service consultants, just as they have been able to do at the Joliet service center at 3033 Theodore St. The Theodore Street facility will close when the XFINITY store opens.

“Joliet is a burgeoning community, and the XFINITY Store will be a great addition to our community and to our local retail mix,” Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said in the news release.

The XFINITY store will have about 15 full- and part-time employees. Store hours will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Incoming veteran students are encouraged to participate in the Veteran Introduction to the College Experience course. The weekly class discusses issues surrounding their transition from military to civilian life and any struggles associated with their experience on campus.

An active chapter of the Student Veterans of America keeps Lewis University students engaged in the community and provides support in networking, academics and other professional opportunities.

Lewis University also has been recognized as the Best for Vets among Colleges and Universities in Illinois for 2016 by Military Times and second among private universities in the nation. It has been designated as a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs Magazine since the inception of the award in 2010.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Redistricting reform for Ill. still possible It’s time we return the power of Illinois government back to the people. Our current political system is broken. It’s rigged against us.

The people of Illinois deserve a more just and fair system.

UnfortunateGUEST VIEW ly, the Illinois Supreme Court Gov. Bruce has now blocked Rauner a voter referendum that would have allowed you to vote for an Independent Map Amendment in November.

This is an affront to our democracy.

Our current system allows career politicians to draw districts for their own benefit and protect incumbents. In the upcoming election alone, two-thirds of incumbents are running unopposed because of how their district is drawn.

It is an elaborate and rigged system that is failing the people of Illinois.

The odds are stacked in favor of those in power and provide no incentive for people who want to get involved and be good public servants.

Instead of voters having a say in who represents them, we have career politicians who have been controlling how votes are counted for 20, 30 and even 40 years.

That’s not how democracy should work.

Politicians should not be picking their voters. Voters should be picking their politicians.

Redistricting reform restores balance in our state and brings back democracy.

The proposed amendment would take the power away from political parties and give it back to the people through an independent redistricting commission.

It’s overwhelmingly supported by both Republicans and Democrats, including President Obama. And more than 563,000 voters signed the original petition.

Despite the court’s ruling, the Illinois General Assembly still has the opportunity to give the power back to the people.

I encourage everyone to call your state senator and representative. Tell them you want the General Assembly to pass redistricting reform in the fall veto session so we can fix our broken political system and restore democracy in Illinois.

• Bruce Rauner, a Republican, is the governor of Illinois.

such as PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and MSNBC, can. It’s quite frustrating for people such as myself that liberals cannot even allow the silent majority to have one. They want it all!

Fox News oftentimes has a higher rating over all of the other stations.

We’re in pretty good company in watching that channel.

As for Mrs. Clinton’s emails, Mr. James Comey mentioned that the findings, if done by any other citizen, would have been disciplined with severity. Mrs. Clinton’s emails were bleachbit so that “not even God could find them,” House Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy alleged. Mr. Comey said Mrs. Clinton was “extremely careless.”

Mrs. Clinton was found to be using 13 devices, two of which were destroyed with a hammer, according to the FBI report. In addition, she has set up a foundation in Canada so that it effectively could shield the identities of donors. “A lie told often enough is

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus she heard the water off Copacabana Beach is full of raw sewage and jellyfish.

In summary, if you can’t do something it’s because you lack the means – talent, money, ability, whatever – to finish the job. But if you won’t do something, it’s a conscious decision not to accomplish the task.

Can’t and won’t.

Both are negative propositions.

Neither solves a problem.

Neither answers a challenge.

Neither gets much done.

Consider Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, our current presidential candidates.

One can’t tell the truth, while the other won’t tell the truth.

Taxes. Emails. The Clinton Foundation. Trump University. Her time in office. His time in business. You can’t get a straight answer on any issue.

Their respective state of health is merely the latest case in point.

After she stumbles into a car at a 9/11 memorial event, we’re told its dehydration. No, wait, it’s heat exhaustion. No, wait, it’s walking pneumonia. No, wait, it’s the flu. It happens frequently, says her husband Bill Clinton. No, wait, he says, it happens rarely.

Trump responds by submitting to a live examination on television

by Dr. Oz, a Republican doctor who plays a doctor on TV. Except Oz didn’t examine Trump. He only examined a medical summary Trump pulled out of his pocket.

Democracy in action. Yay. Health concerns aside – and given more pressing issues such as the economy, terrorism, immigration and the lack of transgender bathrooms in North Carolina, they probably should be set aside – the doublespeak, obfuscation, flip-flopping and outright lies made by both sides are troubling for a lot of people.

In Illinois, a full 38 percent of voters wish they had a different candi-

date to support for president, according to a new poll by Reboot Illinois.

And its not just us yokels. People like former Secretary of State Colin Powell are equally dismayed. In recently released hacked emails, Powell has nothing but scorn for Trump but still would “rather not have to vote for” Clinton.

What it comes down to, then, is this: the concern that one can’t be a good president, while the other won’t be a good president.

Can’t and won’t.

Not much of a choice there.

Perhaps the presidential debates can settle the matter. I sure hope so.

Otherwise a lot of us will be going to the polls this November facing a terrible dilemma: What are you supposed to do when you can’t vote for one candidate and won’t vote for the other?

I guess that’s why we have a Libertarian Party.

There’s a fine line between can’t and won’t.

Can’t suggests an inability or incapacity to perform an action due to reasons that, at least for the moment, are beyond your control. For example: • The state of Illinois can’t pay its bills on time, because of its enormous spending deficit and lack of a budget.

• Men can’t use the ladies’ room in North Carolina, because it’s against the law.

• Ryan Lochte can’t swim competitively for 10 months, because he got caught making a false police report in Brazil.

Won’t, on the other hand, implies a free-will choice not to perform an action. For example: • Gov. Bruce Rauner won’t sign off on House Speaker Mike Madigan’s budget, because it’s $7 billion in the red.

• The NCAA won’t hold any more athletic tournaments in North Carolina, because of the state’s ban on transgender bathrooms.

• The marathon swimmer won’t compete in the Rio Olympics, because

PREP FOOTBALL: JOLIET CENTRAL 38, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 35

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, September 18, 2016

JOLIET – The football gods got this one right. And how.

Forget the long losing streaks both programs were on. Visiting Plainfield Central and Joliet Central staged a football game Saturday afternoon that absolutely was one of the best and most exciting you will see in this or any other season.

When push came to shove, Joliet Central’s playmakers – wide receiver Jomarre McNair and quarterback Zach Wisneski – one-upped the Plainfield Central duo of quarterback Marcus Hayes and tailback Lovell Houston Jr. With the clock winding down, and moments after completing a 32yard pass over the middle to tight end/wide receiver Frank Fiegel on a third-and-12 play, Wisneski eyed his main man, lofting a 30-yard touchdown pass to McNair at the near corner near the goal line.

Houston blanketed No. 1 and got his hand on the ball, but McNair stayed with it, corralled it and battled the final 2 yards across the goal line with 29 seconds left. So much for Plainfield Central’s 35-31 lead. So much for that 57-game losing streak that has been haunting the Steelmen.

After a few snaps from the Wildcats’ offense, the Steelmen (1-3, 1-3) were celebrating a 38-35 Southwest Prairie victory.

There were plenty of tears to go with the exhilaration.

“I’m still in shock,” McNair said.

“I have more trust in him than anything,” Wisneski said of McNair, who caught eight passes for 142 yards and three touchdowns and rushed six times for 91 yards, including a 55-yard jet sweep for a fourth touchdown. He also was his usual self on defense from his cornerback position, more than once preventing the Wildcats (0-4, 0-4) from breaking one all the way.

McNair said he prefers to be called JoJo rather than Jomarre. After what he meant to Joliet Central’s victory, he can be called anything he wants.

“He’s Mr. Everything for us,” Central coach Brett Boyter said. “We got his cramping problems figured out.

Hey, big-time players make big-time plays. I hope he’s on the radar (of some colleges) after what he did out here today.”

“Number 1 (McNair) is a great athlete,” Plainfield Central coach Jon Pereiro said. “He took over. He did everything that he needed to do.”

The team player that he is, McNair

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Joliet Central’s Ryan King yells after defeating Plainfield Central on Saturday at Joliet Central High School in Joliet. The Steelmen defeated the Wildcats, 38-35. told his teammates that it was his fault after he muffed a punt, which led to the touchdown that brought Plainfield Central, which had trailed 24-13 at halftime, back within 24-20 midway through the third quarter.

“It was my fault, I gave one away,” McNair said. “I had to get one back for the team.”

He did that, taking off on his 55yard touchdown sweep on the first play after the Steelmen’s Janari McClellan recovered a Plainfield Central muffed punt at the Steelmen 45 to extend the difference back to 11 points at 31-20 with 3:29 left .

However, the Wildcats, who rushed for 370 yards, were far from finished. Houston’s 35-yard run set up Hayes’ touchdown sneak with 3:29 left in the third quarter. Coupled with Houston’s great escape on the two-point conversion, Plainfield Central was back within 31-28.

Houston finished with 20 carries for 185 yards and two touchdowns while Hayes, despite 27 yards in losses, netted 125 in 18 carries and scored three times. The duo, with a big contribution from Jared Ellingwood (two rushes, 52 yards) kept applying

the heat against the Steelmen’s defense on their next possession. Hayes eventually on a Houdini act from 11 yards out to give the Wildcats, who were closing in on stopping their losing streak at 32 games, their first lead, 35-31, with 7:05 remaining.

The Steelmen punted on their next possession and did not get the ball back until the Wildcats, whose sophomores won 27-6, turned the ball over on downs at the Joliet Central 35 with 1:36 remaining.

It was up to Wisneski, who finished 20 of 30 for 280 yards and four touchdowns – three to McNair and one to Fiegel – to engineer the winning drive. He hit the huge pass to Fiegel on the third-and-12 to set up the game-winner to McNair.

“This is what happens when you execute and make plays,” Wisneski said. “We made ’em today. We’ve been in this sort of situation before and gone down. Today we kept going forward. We’re going to build off this.”

“We proved everybody wrong who said we couldn’t win,” McNair said.

Boyter said what made Saturday all the more special was how well

Plainfield Central played.

“The toughest part of today is there had to be a loser,” he said.

“You can see them (Wildcats) getting better and better. It’s a hard loss for them to take, but they’ll beat somebody.”

Pereiro was equally gracious in his assessment of the Steelmen.

“I give a lot of credit to Joliet Central,” he said. “They played a great game.

“Our kids showed a lot of resiliency, a lot of fight, too. Our program is moving in the right direction. We just have to get off in a better manner in the first half.”

Among Joliet Central’s key plays in the first half were Marcus Stone’s intercpetion that set up the first score, Antonio Alejos’ 36-yard field goal that extended the Steelmen’s lead to 17-13 with 2:41 remaining in the half, and McNair’s outstanding move after receiving a pass over the middle from Wisneski to complete a 43-yard scoring play 16 seconds before halftime.

When the big plays had to be made, McNair stepped forward. Goodbye, losing streak.

36 PREP FOOTBALL: NOTRE DAME 35, JOLIET CATHOLIC 17

Big plays hurt JCA in loss to Notre Dame

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The growing pains continued for the Joliet Catholic football team as the young Hilltoppers dropped a 35-17 decision to East Suburban Catholic foe Niles Notre Dame on Friday night at Memorial Stadium.

JCA (0-4, 0-2) got within 14-10 late in the first half when Pat Roth hit Rio Strama with a 17-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-and-16 play.

Notre Dame (3-1, 2-0) received the ball to open the second half, and the Hilltoppers needed a stop to keep the momentum in their corner. They got the Dons into a fourth-and-1 in their own territory, and the visitors elected to gamble rather than punting.

Tailback Ty Gavin popped through the line and went 62 yards for a touchdown to make it 21-10.

JCA, which ran 67 offensive plays to Notre Dame’s 33 and outgained the Dons, 301-264, never got closer than 11 points again.

That dagger of a play was indicative of the type of issues that have beset the Hilltoppers in the young season. They are giving up big plays, and they are controlling the ball but not converting long drives into enough points.

“All we’re worried about is getting better and competing every play,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “We’re still making mistakes, but we are getting better. We have five starters out (with injury), but the kids are still out there playing hard. I can’t fault the effort.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Joliet Catholic’s defense brings down Notre Dame’s Greg Burnett on Friday at Memorial Stadium in Joliet. The Hilltoppers fell to the Dons, 35-17.

“We’re going to win some games before this season is over. We’ve got three seniors on offense and five or six on defense. We want to win some games for them. What is happening right now, however, will benefit us down the road. The focus every day is on getting better.”

Hilltoppers junior running back Ke’Von Johnson had his second consecutive strong game. He rushed for 123 yards in 24 carries and caught four passes for 39, including an 18yard touchdown reception on a swing pass out of the backfield. Roth com-

pleted 8 of 18 passes for 93 yards and had two intercepted, one that turned into a pick-six.

Simon Grashoff caught three passes for 37 yards and rushed for 51 yards in six carries. Keenan Hailey picked up 36 yards in eight carries.

Johnson’s touchdown reception came on a swing pass out of the backfield that brought JCA back within 28-17 late in the third quarter. Sharp said offensive line coach Dave Douglas suggested the play, and he added with a laugh, “I’m pretty sure that was the first pass play coach Douglas

ever called.”

Johnson said the big thing to take away from the game is the Hilltoppers are continuing to learn.

“We have to learn, everyone together,” Johnson said. “Our young guys are getting better every week.

Once we put it it all together and eliminate mistakes, we will be OK.” The Hilltoppers scored first on their first possession when they consumed almost eight minutes on a 15play, 67-yard drive before settling for Tony Trabold’s 30-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead with 1:05 left in the first quarter.

“We can’t have those long drives and settle for field goals,” Johnson said.

The outcome of that drive might have been different had JCA not committed a false start on a third-and-2 from the Notre Dame 9.

Ty Gavin’s 34-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter gave the Dons a 7-3 lead. Late in the second quarter, Notre Dame faced a fourth-and-10 at the JCA 29. A pass to tight end Brendan Niewinski went for 19 yards but came back 10 because of holding, setting up a fourth-and-1.

Gavin went 20 yards for a score on the next play.

The touchdown that stretched the Dons’ lead to 28-10 midway through the third quarter came on Michael Valdez’s 83-yard interception return.

“It’s a work in progress for us,” Sharp said. “It reminds me of my first year at Minooka, where we had to build a foundation. Our seniors are working hard, and we have a foundation that’s being built.”

PREP FOOTBALL: OSWEGO 27, PLAINFIELD EAST 17

Oswego rallies to overcome Plainfield East

By KRISTIN SHARP

ksharp@shawmedia.com OSWEGO – Both offenses sputtered on Friday night, but in the end, Oswego’s defense proved better in the Southwest Prairie football battle against Plainfield East.

Despite two interception returns for touchdowns, East (2-2) was held to minus-7 yards in the second half as Oswego (4-0) rallied from a 17-7 deficit to defeat the Bengals, 27-17, Friday.

“We got beat up front. Their defensive line beat our offensive line up

front,” East coach Mike Romeli said.

“I think that right there was the main reason. Our defense was on the field for the whole second half. You can’t win games like that, even though our defense played exceptional.”

East trailed, 7-3, at halftime, but David Salazar intercepted Oswego quarterback Levi Olson and returned it 71 yards for a score on the first possession of the second half. Salazar got his hands on another Olson pass 15 seconds later, but the Bengals got in only two plays before quarterback Matt Pratscher was intercepted.

Blake Coughlin made the third

pick, returning it 89 yards for a touchdown and a 17-7 lead with 4:01 to play in the third quarter.

Oswego answered with a fiveplay, 55-yard drive to cut East’s lead to three. The Panthers recovered an onside kick and kept the Bengals’ defense on the field into the fourth quarter. When Pratscher finally got his offense back on the field, East fumbled on its 4-yard line after two penalties created a first-and-27 situation.

Oswego’s Nick Marra scored from the 4-yard line, and added in one last score with a 26-yarder with 1:35 left.

East’s first score came on a 35-yard field goal by Kyle Hassert late in the first half.

“We thought we did some good things in the first half, but I think we had negative yards in the second half and turned the ball over twice.

You can’t win games if you turn the ball over that many times, especially in a half,” Romeli said. “We played a very good first half. Unfortunately, football is two halves. We fought hard and we did some good things.”

Pratscher was 11 of 16 for 98 yards and an interception. He was sacked five times.

returned the ball to the Minooka 9. Two plays later, Miller connected with Hoosman for a 5-yard scoring pass and a 20-0 lead.

“That was a big play there,” Forsythe said. “We get that kickoff return and then we have some momentum going our way.

But that didn’t happen.

“We can’t just tell our guys to forget this one and move on. We have to learn from this game so the mistakes we made don’t keep happening. There’s still a lot of season left, and we have a lot of work to do.”

Minooka was able to get on the board when Carnagio connected with Max

Christiano for a 53-yard touchdown to pull to within 20-7. Carnagio finished with 188 yards and two TDs through the air but was intercepted three times. North’s defensive front was dominant, sacking Carnagio four times and limiting the Indians to 6 yards rushing.

It only took North four plays to march 65 yards after Christiano’s touchdown, and Miller hit Hoosman with a swing pass to the right for a 27-yard TD to cap the drive.

Minooka answered quickly again, this time when Carnagio hit Isaiah Hill for a 31yard touchdown to make it 26-14 with 2:11 still to play in the first quarter. North re-

taliated with a 56-yard TD pass from Miller to Connor Peplow 26 seconds later and, on the first play of the second quarter, Miller hit Ryan Krzystofiak with a 29-yard touchdown for a 38-14 lead. With 1:06 to play until halftime, Miller connected with Dillon McCarthy to put the Tigers ahead, 46-14.

With 2:22 left in the third quarter, Miller hit Sammy Jones over the middle for a 20-yard touchdown, and Hoosman added the conversion run to make it 54-14 and institute the running clock the rest of the game. North’s Carlos Baggett turned in a 77-yard TD run in the fourth quarter and finished with 136 rushing yards of his own.

PREP FOOTBALL: ROCHELLE 21, MORRIS 14

Morris suffers first loss of season at Rochelle STAFF REPORT

ROCHELLE – The Morris football team had a chance at the end Friday night, but passes on both third and fourth down from the Rochelle 6-yard line fell incomplete in the end zone and the Redskins dropped a 21-14 decision.

Morris (3-1) fell behind early when Rochelle recovered a muffed punt at the Redskin 30-yard line and punched it in for an early 6-0 lead. The Hubs scored later in the first half to take a 13-0 lead, but Morris’ Ricky Del Favero scored on a 2-yard touchdown run to make it 13-7 at halftime.

third and fourth down were both incomplete.

Del Favero finished 5 of 19 for 76 yards and carried the ball 11 times for 47 yards. Keagan Sobol led the Redskins with 50 yards rushing on 11 carries, while Michael Feeney had 43 yards on 10 Alan Thorson attempts. Sobol also completed a 33-yard Morris coach pass to Peyton Voitik.

“Rochelle played well, but we shot ourselves in the foot too many times,” Rochelle took the second-half kickoff make it 21-14.

Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “Ricky and drove the field, scoring a touchdown After Rochelle recovered an onside (Del Favero) actually had a really good and getting the two-point conversion kick, Morris forced a punt and drove 65 game. We had at least seven or eight to take a 21-7 lead. Del Favero added a yards to the Rochelle 6-yard line in the dropped passes. We just needed to play 3-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to final minute, but Del Favero’s passes on better.”

“Rochelle played well, but we shot ourselves in the foot too many times. Ricky (Del Favero) actually had a really good game. We had at least seven or eight dropped passes. We just needed to play better.”

• Sunday, September 18, 2016

MINOOKA – Friday night’s Southwest Prairie Conference football game between Minooka and Plainfield North looked like it would be a battle between Minooka quarterback John Carnagio and Plainfield North running back Tyler Hoosman.

Hoosman didn’t disappoint a bit as he went 78 yards for a touchdown the first time he touched the ball and finished with a game-high 164 rushing yards on 14 attempts.

The young man who stole the show, however, was North junior quarterback Brady Miller. All he did was throw for 241 yards and six touchdowns as Minooka focused on containing Hoosman. Miller’s effort led the Tigers (3-1, 3-1) to a surprisingly easy 61-22 win.

“We made some mistakes early and it kind of snowballed,” Minooka coach Paul Forsythe said. “But give Plainfield North credit. They are a very good football team and they played very well tonight.”

The mistakes, and their effects, were immediate for Minooka. On the second play of the game, North’s Robert Ostapkowicz intercepted Carnagio and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown. Carnagio responded by driving the Indians down to the North 22 before turning the ball over on downs.

Hoosman took a pitch on the first play and bolted through the line and beyond, going untouched on a 78-yard scoring run and a 13-0 lead.

Minooka (2-2, 2-2) looked to have an answer when Isaiah Hill returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown, but a holding penalty negated the score and forced the Indians to start at their own 20. Carnagio was intercepted by Johnny Goodson, who

38 PREP FOOTBALL: HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 53, LOCKPORT 24

H-F offense too much for Lockport to handle

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – Homewood-Flossmoor scored on its first eight possessions en route to a 53-24 victory over Lockport in a SouthWest Suburban Conference football game Friday night.

The Porters (3-1, 1-1) couldn’t contain the Vikings’ quarterback, Bryant Wright. The senior accounted for seven of the eight scores, rushing for three touchdowns and throwing for four. He rushed 13 times for 152 yards and was 7 of 12 through the air for 212 yards.

After H-F (4-0, 2-0) scored on the initial drive of the game, Lockport put together a 13-play drive that ended with a 25-yard field goal by Ben Davis to make it 7-3.

After two more Vikings touchdowns, Porters junior running back Tavares Moore scampered 62 yards up the middle to make the score 1910 with 2:22 left in the half. The play

started badly as Davis bobbled the snap, then gained his composure and handed the ball to Moore.

“Tavares (Moore) did a great job of making the right hesitation move after the bad snap on his long touchdown run,” Davis said. “Offensively we played pretty well tonight. The receivers made some great catchand-runs with the ball.”

However, H-F came right back and scored with only 0:24 remaining in the half to go up 25-10 at the break.

Homewood-Flossmoor had 314 total yards in the first half, 218 on the ground and 96 in the air.

The Vikings continued to score in the second half, but Lockport responded as Moore scored his second touchdown on a 25-yard run and Davis hit Patrick Cooper with a 21-yard touchdown pass to get the Porters within 39-24 with 1:40 left in the third quarter. But that was as close as the Porters would get.

“We had trouble tackling tonight,” Lockport coach Dan Starkey

said. “They have very good skilled players on the offensive side and we didn’t do a good job of containing them.

“Sure, we are disappointed, but these kids have heart and we will learn from this and will work at getting better. We have a much better defense than we showed tonight.”

Offensively for the Porters, Moore ended the night with 25 carries for 140 yards, while Davis was 17 of 30 for 226 yards. Austin Hoffman caught eight passes for 115 yards and Cooper hauled in six for 70 yards.

Starkey was pleased with the game plan on the offensive side of the ball.

“Our coaches did a great job with the plan with the offense,” he said. “Our short passing game looked real good tonight. Our receivers bounced back tonight after having an off night last week. We did do a lot of good things tonight. If you look at the score, you may not think that. We will get back to work and be

ready for Andrew next week.”

The Vikings’ second half was much like the first as they rushed for 203 yards and threw for 116. They put up a total of 633 yards for the game.

Wright only threw the ball three times in the second half but completed all three for touchdowns and 116 yards to his favorite receiver, Tyrice Ritchie, who ended the night with six receptions for 174 yards and the three scores. Tyler Nutall, a senior running back, carried 19 times for 166 yards.

“Dan (Starkey) has done a great job with the Lockport program,” Homewood-Flossmoor coach Craig Buzea said. “They have a good quarterback and skilled position players and that showed tonight. They forced us to try and score on every possession. That is a playoff team over there.

“We still have a lot of things to work on. We didn’t come out with much fire tonight. The season is still young and we have a long way to go.”

PREP FOOTBALL: PROVIDENCE 48, ST. IGNATIUS 14

Drake delivers as Providence whips St. Ignatius

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent CHICAGO – After suffering a heart-wrenching, and controversial 32-31 overtime loss at St. Rita a week earlier, it would not have been a surprise for Providence Catholic coach Mark Coglianese’s football team to be a little down.

But that wouldn’t be the Celtics.

Showing no ill effects, the Celtics on Friday night pounded previously undefeated Chicago Catholic League crossover foe St. Ignatius, 48-14. Celtics quarterback Jared Drake had a near-perfect game, completing 19 of 21 passes for 305 yards and his eighth and ninth touchdown tosses of the season.

He also rushed for 80 yards on three carries and scored on 59- and 1-yard runs.

“After last week, we really wanted to come out strong,” Drake said.

“Coach called my number tonight and I tried to do everything I could to get us the win. Our offensive line was great.

Our receivers caught the ball. Richie Warfield was outstanding running and catching the ball. Our defense played

well. A great team win. I know it will be tough next week against Brother Rice, but we have all our fans and our alumni. It should be a lot of fun.”

Warfield scored three touchdowns, two rushing and one on a 69-yard touchdown reception from Drake.

Warfield caught five passes for a 164 yards and rushed for 21 more yards on five carries.

“Big bounce-back win for us. We know we should have won last week, but this win will give us confidence as we go forward,“ Warfield said. “Our goal is to win out and make the playoffs. After last week’s tough loss, we could have had our heads down, but we came in focused on tonight’s game and came away with a big win.

“We prepared for my being involved in the passing game and it worked out well.”

Providence (2-2), whose unbeaten sophomores won 28-0, took the opening kickoff and went 70 yards on seven plays, capped by Warfield’s 6-yard TD run for a 7-0 lead. Drake was 6 for 6 for 64 yards on the drive as Luke Garwood caught three for 30 yards.

Five minutes later, Warfield

thrilled the large Celtic Nation contingent when he scored on a 69-yard strike from Drake.

With 10:02 in the half, Drake electrified the crowd with a 59-yard touchdown run and a 21-0 lead. Drake then hit wide receiver Nico Planeta (two catches, 12 yards) from 8 yards for a 28-0 lead with 3:50 left in the half.

St. Ignatius (3-1) got on the board with 0:41 left in the half on Tim Pomin’s 21-yard run. It took the Celtics 34 seconds to answer. Warfield caught a swing pass from Drake and raced 55 yards to the Wolfpack 1. Drake took it one and place-kicker Eduardo Favela’s fifth of his six conversions made it 35-7 at the half.

Warfield’s third touchdown from 5 yards out gave the Celtics a 42-7 lead with 4:37 left in the third quarter.

Backup quarterback Caden Kalinowski, connected with wide receiver Joe Tracy on a 13-yard TD strike with 7:13 left to make it 49-7, thus switching on the running clock.

The Celtics’ defense was led by linebackers Kevin O’Boyle, Chris Kaminski and Joe Markasovic. Defensive backs Jack Halper, Steve Meyer and

Gaosh Williams assisted in shutting down the St. Ignatius veer-option.

Linemen Dylan Davalos and Nick Jones had sacks.

“We came in knowing we had to play well,” O’Boyle said. “St. Ignatius was undefeated and with our 1-2 record we had to pick up a win. Our entire defense did well against their option attack. This win is huge for our confidence. With Brother Rice coming in next week, I know we will have a great week of practice.”

“We came out and took it to them early,” Coglianese said. “Our offense was outstanding. Jared Drake threw the ball exceptionally well and got them on the ropes. He is a two-year starter at quarterback and the numbers he put up tonight, we expect from him.

“Richie Warfield had an outstanding game catching and running. Kevin O’Boyle and our linebackers are the key for our defense. The table is set for us with Brother Rice coming to Providence next Friday. We can make a statement, but it will be tough. We want to have a great of week of practice and play well next week.”

PREP FOOTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 41, BOLINGBROOK 23

BOLINGBROOK – Lincoln-Way East turned the ball over four times and lost it twice on downs during its first nine possessions of Friday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference game at Bolingbrook to fall behind 16-7 early in the final half.

But the Griffins responded to the adversity by collecting 34 straight points during a 10:32-stretch of the third and fourth quarters to rally for a 41-23 victory over the Raiders.

After dropping a 35-30 defeat to Homewood-Flossmoor in their conference opener a week ago, the Griffins (3-1, 1-1) hoped to avoid consecutive defeats, but their prospects weren’t looking that encouraging shortly after the break.

However, East scored on four straight series and also got a punt return for a touchdown to break things open.

“I thought the guys that maybe didn’t make the plays early came back and made them later,” Griffins coach Rob Zvonar said. “To me and to the kids, it was the words ‘perseverance,’ ‘persistence’ and ‘resolve.’ We wanted to keep pounding the rock because it wasn’t going well for quite a while.

“We had a lot of self-inflicted wounds, which we try to guard against, but sometimes in this game it happens.

40 PREP FOOTBALL: JOLIET WEST 21, ROMEOVILLE 16

Tullock, Joliet West get past Romeoville

By DENNIS NELSON

Shaw Media correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Call it a step in the right direction for Joliet West.

The Tigers used a balanced offensive attack to post a 21-16 Southwest Prairie Conference football win Friday over Romeoville. West overcame nearly 100 penalty yards by forcing four Romeoville turnovers. and totaled 433 yards of offense – 241 rushing and 192 passing.

“We can definitely improve as an offense and as a team, but this is definitely a step in the right direction,” West junior running back Ezekiel Tullock said.

“We’re going to learn from this game and get better heading into the rest of the season.”

Road wins in the Southwest Prairie are hard to come by, and you don’t get any extra victories for style points.

“Week in week out, you have to play

your best in this league or you are going to get beat,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “Week by week, we need to get better and that’s our plan.”

The plan against Romeoville included a run-heavy attack, spearheaded by Tullock. He rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns and sophomore quarterback Jaxon Aubry threw for 192 yards as the Tigers (2-2, 2-2) got back to .500.

“I have to give our offensive line all the credit,” Tullock said. “I can’t do anything by myself. It was all them. They did what they had to do to help us get this win tonight.”

Tullock’s running opened up opportunities for the Tigers’ passing game.

“For the past few games, we’ve been passing predominantly,” Tullock said.

“Now that we’ve established a running game, that’s going to open up opportunities for us.’

Johnny Holman caught seven passes

for 106 yards for West, which led 21-3 early in the fourth quarter before Romeoville (0-4, 0-4) mounted a comeback.

Spartans quarterback Cam Neely threw a 5-yard touchdown to Tim Rodriguez, cutting the Tigers’ lead to 219. Senior running back Jordan Nettles (31 carries, 177 yards) ran 62 yards for a score, trimming the deficit to 21-16 with 7:51 left.

Diego Ibarra recovered a West fumble at the Romeoville 28 with 5:05 remaining.

However, three plays later, the Spartans were forced to punt and the Tigers ran out the clock.

“This isn’t a moral victory because West has two losses or it was a close game,” Romeoville coach Oliver Gibson said. “We don’t have room for error and we made mistakes.”

The first half was plagued by 14 penalties and four turnovers, three by the Spartans. West turned the miscues into

its first score – a 1-yard run by Tullock that gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead after a quarter. A 7-yard touchdown run by Tullock with 8:49 left in the second quarter made it 14-0.

Romeoville rode the running of Nettles deep into West territory on its next drive. However, the Spartans had to settle for a 29-yard field goal by Evan Lee, making it 14-3 at the half.

“We’re one big play away in the first half,” Gibson said. “We have to stop digging ourselves a hole at the start of games.”

West was flagged 12 times for 85 yards.

“We need to get better in practice,” Jason Aubry said. “How do we get better? By doing things the right way in practice. That’s what we need to do, execute in practice.”

“I think out kids understand there needs to be a sense of urgency,” Gibson said. “Every week is do or die.”

PREP FOOTBALL: OSWEGO EAST 40, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 19

New turf christened as Plainfield South falls

By SCOTT EHLING

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – It took all of 13 seconds for Oswego East to christen the newly installed artificial field turf at Plainfield South with its first bad memory.

East sophomore wideout Justin Clark exploited a huge hole in the middle of the Cougars’ coverage and returned the opening kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown that propelled the Wolves to a 4019 Southwest Prairie Conference victory Friday night.

“That was not the way we wanted to start the game at all,” South coach Bill Bicker said. “We need to make sure that we are doing everything we need to do to play a complete football game.”

Senior running back and Iowa commit Ivory Kelly-Martin led the Wolves with 141 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns.

East also had significant contributions from seniors wideout Kijana Caldwell (three catches, 44 yards, touchdown) and quarterback Jaylon Banks (10 of 20, 106 yards, TD). South (2-2, 2-2) was led by quarterback Nick Deppe (18 of 32, 216 yards, TD) and wide receiver Tom Macari (six catches, 116 yards, TD).

“If you look at our 2-2 record, that is very reflective of who we are and that is on me,” Bicker said. “The scoreboard doesn’t reflect it, but I am very proud of our defense.”

East (4-0, 4-0) might have been its own worst enemy as the Wolves overcame

double-digit penalties and three turnovers.

Leading 7-0, East’s special teams made a splash when senior defensive lineman Colin O’Reilly blocked the Cougars’ first punt, giving the Wolves the ball on the South 15-yard line. Two plays later Kelly-Martin scored on a 2-yard touchdown run that extended the East lead to 14-0 with 9:43 left in the opening quarter.

The Cougars displayed some of their own resolve as they put together a sixplay, 82-yard drive that culminated with a Nick Portz 9-yard touchdown that closed the deficit to 14-7 with 7:02 left in the first quarter.

“We made them work for everything tonight, so I am proud of our guys for that,” Bicker said. “We play hard, have

fun and we don’t hang our heads.”

East responded in kind when Banks connected with Caldwell for a 22-yard touchdown that pushed the Wolves lead back up to 21-7 with 9:36 left in the half.

Kelly-Martin then struck again as he broke free of several arm tackles by the Cougars defense and scored on a 45-yard touchdown run for a 27-7 lead.

Trailing 30-13, Deppe found a wide open Macari for a 76-yard touchdown that made it 30-19 with 2:44 left in the third quarter. However, that was the closest South would get.

“Tom (Macari) is an outstanding kid, Deppe said. “I am glad to have him back.”

“Nick (Deppe) is just a great kid,” Bicker said. “He’s a tremendous leader and student.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: USF MISSOURI BAPTIST

St. Francis scores first victory of season over Missouri Baptist SUBMITTED REPORT

ST. LOUIS – Tyrell Mitchell scored two of St. Francis’ five touchdowns Saturday as the Saints notched their first victory of the season, 38-14 over nonconference foe Missouri Baptist.

Wrapping up a three-game, threestate road stint to open the season, USF improved to 1-2. Saturday’s game marked the second meeting between the schools.The Saints won, 45-7, last year at Joliet Memorial Stadium. Missouri Bap-

tist is 0-3 in its third season of football.

USF scored the first two touchdowns on a 71-yard drive late in the first quarter and a 76-yard drive late in the second quarter. Mitchell burst in from a yard away on the final play from scrimmage in the first quarter to cap a nine-play, 71-yard drive.

The score held at 7-0 until late in the first half when Don Butkus rushed in from a yard out on the ninth play of a 76-yard march. After the Saints stopped Missouri Baptist on the ensuing drive,

Lexus Jackson returned the punt 70 yards to the end zone to put USF up, 210, at halftime.

A Grayson Barnette 31-yard field goal for USF and a 17-yard Antoryio Barton touchdown run for the Spartans accounted for the only scoring of the third quarter. Mitchell scored his second touchdown on a14-yard scamper in the opening minute of the final quarter to put the Saints on top, 31-7.

Butkus then connected with Adam Morrison for a 15-yard TD reception at

the 4:27 mark to make it 38-7. Missouri Baptist then scored the final points on a 74-yard touchdown pass.

Butkus finished 22 of 31 for 210 yards and led the Saints with 77 yards rushing on eight carries. Brandon Ruffin caught nine passes for 78 yards, Morrison four for l80 yards. Calvin Brayboy had two sacks for USF. USF returns home Saturday to host Mid-States Football Association Midwest League rival Robert Morris in the first of four consecutive home games.

anything going.

“But we knew if we didn’t make mistakes in our own end, our defense was going to carry us.”

The defense, led by linebacker Trey Telez and linemen Trevor Schmidt and Jordan Telez, kept the Chargers’ offense in check. Stagg did not cross midfield the entire game.

“This was the first time all year we played our game,” West defensive coordinator Luke Lokanc said. “This was the first time the defensive line, linebackers and secondary played as a whole unit instead of our D-line played good this game, or our secondary played good this game.

We all came together and really showed how well we can play.”

The game still came down to the heroics of Murphy, who plays defensive back, returns punts and occasionally lines up at

receiver.

“Hewon’ttellyou,buthe’sbeensickthe last two weeks and shows up tonight being the tough guy that he is and outworks the guy down there in the corner, catches the pass (for the touchdown) and plays almost the whole game on defense,” Ernst said.

“He’s a tough guy and very modest.”

Murphy was just happy to contribute.

“Wednesday is our last work day of the week, and they put me in on a couple of plays on offense on third down,” who lost 10 pounds because of flu over the past two weeks. “They have me run like go (routes) and posts. I’m doing whatever I can to help out both sides of the ball.”

The Warriors also received a boost on special teams when Brock Krohe nailed a 74-yard punt when West was pinned at its 10-yard-line midway through the third quarter.

PREP FOOTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 44, THORNWOOD 19

Lincoln-Way Central runs past Thornwood

By LARRY LINDHOLM

Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – Thornwood scored first in Friday night’s SouthWest Suburban football game at Lincoln-Way Central, but after that, it was all Knights.

Defensive end Mike Cepolski tackled Thunderbirds quarterback Jabari Howard for a safety late in the first quarter to give Central (3-1, 1-1) a 9-7 lead, and the Knights went on to a 44-19 victory.

Cepolski struck again in the second

quarter. He tackled the Thornwood runner on a fake punt at the Thunderbirds’ 14-yard line, giving the Central offense excellent field position. A couple of plays later, Mitch Hosman scored on a 9-yard run, the first of his three touchdowns.

“Thornwood is a a very good team,” Knights coach Jeremy Cordell said. They run hard and have speed, but all week we worked with the defense to play tough but play with discipline. I think you saw that tonight early and throughout the game.”

Hosman later tacked on another

9-yard scoring run and a 28-yard touchdown scamper. Hunter Campbell threw touchdown passes of 14 yards to Matt Pollack and 30 yards to Zack Stoklosa.

Pollack also scored on a 15-yard run.

Bouncing back from last week’s 16-14 loss to Lockport, the Knights led, 30-13, at halftime and 37-19 after three quarters.

Thornwood gained 142 yards in the first half but only 14 rushing and 49 total in the second half.

“Our defense made the adjustments that were needed,” Cordell said. “You

have to do the little things correctly all the time to get the big results. We saw the team tonight doing what they were supposed to do.

“This was one of the most unique games I have coached with the penalties and the whistles and the players going down for a play. But we persevered, we are flexible and you do not see a featured back. You see pieces put together, a team growing each week, one that needs to keep growing and is going to be successful.”

NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way West leaned on its defense and backup quarterback Anthony Senerchia to pull out a 14-0 win Friday night over SouthWest Suburban Conference foe Stagg.

The Warriors (4-0, 2-0) did not have starting senior quarterback Cal Pohrte in the lineup because he injured his ankle last week in West’s 35-12 win over Andrew.

He is expected to play in the battle of unbeatens next week at Homewood-Flossmoor.

Senerchia, a junior, played well, throwing a 23-yard touchdown pass to Matthew Murphy to put West up on the Chargers (0-4, 0-2), 7-0, with 2:23 left in the game.

That Warriors’ scoring drive was started when linebacker Blake Evans

recovered Stagg quarterback Kyle Neputy’s fumble at the Chargers’ 39. The second West scoring drive started when Evans recovered another Neputy fumble at the Stagg 21. Ryan Robbins scored on a 20-yard-run to make it 14-0 with 0:22 left.

“The defense played great, and Anthony, for his first varsity start, did a great job,” West coach Dave Ernst said.

Senerchia completed 13 of 18 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown.

Ernst credited the Chargers’ defense with keeping the Warriors off the scoreboard until late in the fourth quarter.

“They played really well defensively,” he said. “Their coach did a very good job and Stagg over the last two seasons has been very much improved. They did a good job defensively, and we made some mistakes. It seemed like we were making a mistake on every play and just couldn’t get

42 CROSS COUNTRY MINOOKA FLIGHT INVITATIONAL

Minooka girls 2nd, boys take 3rd at own invite

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – On Saturday, Minooka hosted its annual cross country flight invitational at Community Park.

The event has seven flights for each gender. The No. 7 runners all compete, then the No. 6 runners, all the way down to the number-one runners. An individual’s place in each flight determines the points they receive for their team.

On the girls side, Minooka came away with four individual champions but lost the team title to Yorkville by one point, 14-15.

Yorkville, which defeated Minooka last week in Peoria, is ranked third in the the latest poll in Class 3A, while Minooka is fourth.

Lincoln-Way Central placed sixth, with Plainfield North was seventh and Lemont took ninth in the 14-team field.

The Indians’ Vivian Van Eck got things rolling with a win in flight four, covering the three-mile course in 18:37.

“This feels awesome,” sophomore Van Eck said. “I was second last year and I really wanted the champion shirt that all the flight winners receive. I knew the Yorkville girl (Alyssa Edwards) would be tough and I just kept pushing.”

In flight three, Minooka’s Mackenzie Callahan won by 51 seconds (17:46) over Yorkville’s Maddie Dearborn. It was Callahan’s second consecutive title and third overall, as she won flight two as a sophomore.

“I felt really good today, much better than last week,” Callahan said.

Emily Shelton, the talented Minooka junior, defended her flight two title and ran the fastest time of the day, winning with a time of 17:41, which was also a 51-second victory over Yorkville’s Olivia Borowiak.

In flight one (the championship flight), senior Ashley Tutt also defended her title for the Indians by winning in 17:44. She edged Yorkville’s Nicole Greyer, who ran 18:08.

The other Minooka scorers were Katelyn Gall, who placed fourth in flight five (19:49), Julia Dames, who was fourth in flight six (19:52) and Nina Shanahan, who placed third in flight seven (19:52).

“This was a great experience,” Shanahan said. “This is my first varsity race and I really pushed myself to place as high as I could for the team.”

Plainfield North was led by Juliana Stogsdill, who took third place finish in flight one with a time of 18:31. Lincoln-Way Central had a pair of fifthplace finishes as Gretchen Zirgatis ran 19:53 in flight four and Dana Boucher

ran 20:29 in flight seven.

For the boys meet, Downers Grove North, ranked second in the 3A state rankings, easily won with 11 points, followed by Whitney Young,which was ranked seventh, with 25 points. Minooka finished in third place with 27 points.

Plainfield North was sixth, followed

by Lincoln-Way Central (10th), Lockport (12th), Plainfield Central (15th) and Lemont (18th).

Minooka’s Soren Knudsen claimed the area’s only title, winning flight one for the second consecutive year, with the day’s best time of 15:08.

“I used today as a learning experience for the big meets down the road,” Knudsen said. “It was a smaller pack up front, which will be like the state meet and you have to learn and practice those tactics of running up there. I made some tactical errors today, but I will learn from that and it is always good to win a race.”

In flight four, Minooka sophomore Mark Dames placed second in 16:11 and was very happy with the effort.

“That was totally unexpected,” Dames said. “I really liked this concept of racing because you really have a chance to win a race and it’s a much smaller group. I like the pressure, that excites me and I’m so happy with the effort and place.”

Local third-place finishers were Plainfield North’s Omar Paramo in flight three and a pair of Minooka runners – Jordan Freese in flight two and Jason Hoffman in flight six.

“I’m feeling much better today about both of our teams, the girls and boys, than I did last week,” Minooka coach Kevin Gummerson said.

“It’s week by week, you just try and get better one day at a time. This is always a great meet for kids to win a race that normally wouldn’t have a chance.

It can really change a runner’s perspective when they know they can run up front.”

NASCAR: SPRINT CUP PREVIEW

10 weeks of NASCAR glory starts here

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Ten races. Every three races, four drivers from an original group of 16 get eliminated. Four are left at the end to decide who gets the pot of gold in victory lane.

Along the way, there will be arguing and vindictive actions, bluffing and posturing, and a good deal of hyperbole.

There will even be some racing.

Welcome to NASCAR’s version of reality TV. It starts Sunday afternoon at Chicagoland Speedway in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400.

Nobody in the 40-driver field wants to resemble a turtle as the playoffs begin.

With qualifying canceled because of Friday’s rain – the third year in succession that’s happened here – the starting lineup follows the standings, and those reflect the reset for the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup following the checkered flag last Saturday night in Richmond.

The 16 Chase contenders thus line up with co-leaders Kyle Busch, the defending Sprint Cup champion, and Brad Keselowski, the champion in 2012, on the front row. Oft-times at loggerheads, each has won four races this season. Either could win today.

However, so could about 30 of the drivers in the field, including the 14 other Chasers, including Austin Dillon and Jamie McMurray, who occupy the eighth row, the last of those eligible for the championship.

Most eyes will be toward the front of the field when the green flag is waved. Toward Busch, who won the 400 in 2008, and Keselowski, who won in 2012 and 2014. Or Denny Hamlin, who won last year and starts third. Or Kevin Harvick, who starts next to Hamlin and captured the first two races here, in 2001 and 2002.

“This is a good round for us,” Busch said. “Chicagoland, Loudon, Dover in this round. The key is, don’t make many mistakes.”

Five of the top seven – Busch, Hamlin, Carl Edwards, Martin Truex Jr. and Matt Kenseth – pilot Toyotas, the hot car of the moment. Ford is represented up front by Keselowski, in Penske Racing’s lead car, while Chevrolet’s top man is Harvick.

For the 16 drivers eyeing a championship, the overarching object of the game is advancing into the second round, where there’s room for only 12 drivers. For some, that means driving as usual, going for the opening when it may closing entering a corner. For others, it may mean keeping in line for another lap or two or three to preserve a position, especially in the late stages of the 267-lap race.

The different strategies are employed by differing personalities. Tony Stewart, usually considered stock-car racing’s biggest hothead, the most recent example his blowup with Ryan Newman last week – they visited with NASCAR brass on Friday afternoon for a wrist-slap – insists this is the time of the season to play it cool.

“It’s time for the Chase now,” said Stewart, Chicagoland’s only three-time Sprint Cup winner. “It’s a whole different mindset, a whole different approach each week. We’ve got to go out and worry about that we have to do to win a championship.

“This Chase is going to be pretty intense in itself. You’ve got 16 great drivers in here, three-week segments where you keep knocking four guys off. It’s going to be pretty crazy these last 10 weeks.”

This is Stewart’s first Chase since the segmented elimination format began.

His plan? “I’ll take it a week at a time,” he said.

The winner in any race advances to the following round, but this week is a key week besides that. Since the Chicagoland race was moved from July to September, and became the first race in the Chase, in 2011, two of the five winners, Stewart and Keselowski, went on to win the Sprint Cup. Win today, and the pot of gold is that much closer.

44 NASCAR: XFINITY

Erik Jones scores Xfinity victory

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – In qualifying, especially at Indianapolis, they call it a banzai run, that moment when a driver realizes that what has not worked so far, no matter how close he has come, and has to be discarded in favor of something different, something daring that could gain extra speed for a lap – or send you into the wall.

Kyle Larson was in that situation on the last lap of Saturday’s Drive for Safety 300, the Xfinity series tangle viewed by about 15,000 fans at Chicagoland Speedway.

Kyle Busch, who had dominated until a flat tire with 18 laps remaining, was no longer a factor. Larson, who had overcome a pit-lane speeding penalty and a pair of flat tires, had gotten by Elliott Sadler for second and was gaining on leader Erik Jones.

The laps clicked down, and with three to go, Larson wheeled alongside Jones’ left side for an instant, but Jones, on the faster high side, was able to keep Larson behind him at the line.

On the 199th circuit, same thing, Larson diving low to climb almost alongside going into Turn 3, but Jones’ high-side momentum prevented Larson from completing the pass. He remained second with 1.52 miles remaining.

Larson had to do something different.

NASCAR: XFINITY CHASE

Sieg, Koch clinch final two Chase spots

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – To many in attendance at Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity The Drive for Safety 300 at Chicagoland Speedway, some stories to watch were if Kyle Busch would win for the second straight day and whether series leader Erik Jones could claim a fourth victory.

But for drivers such as Ryan Sieg and Blake Koch, it was all about performing well enough to earn the final two spots in the 12-man Chase, which kicks off next Saturday at Kentucky.

Both finished among the top-15 in Saturday’s event to secure their positions, beating out Dakoda Armstrong and Jeremy Clements, who still had long-shot hopes entering the day.

Thanks to his 12th-place showing in the race, Sieg is in ninth place in the Chase grid while Koch took 15th place to earn the 12th and final spot.

The top-12 drivers in points, reset following Saturday’s race are (in or-

der): Jones, Elliott Sadler, Daniel Suarez, Ty Dillon, Justin Allgaier, Darrell Wallace Jr., Brendan Gaughan, Brennan Poole, Sieg, Ryan Reed, Brandon Jones and Koch.

Following races at Kentucky, Dover and Charlotte, the field will trimmed to eight competitors. There’s four races after that, with the championship on November 19 at Homestead-Miami.

Sieg, who has one top-five showing and two top-10 finishes this season, focused on going out and racing without putting himself in too many threatening situations.

“From the beginning of the year I didn’t even think about this at all, but in the last few, it’s most of what we’ve been thinking about,” Sieg said. “I haven’t been too worried in the last three or four since I knew they were pretty decent tracks for us. Everything has come together really good. We have all of the people in the right spot.

“I was conservative on some of the restarts and a few people had some accidents and that was a little concern-

ing. The rest of the day we just tried to go and get the best possible finish we could get. And I also tried to get ready for this Chase. You have to get some momentum and get things going and do the best that you can since you can’t just ride around.”

Koch, who has no top-five showings but has been in the top-10 on three occasions, made sure that he turned in a good effort while trying to avoid potential problems.

“It feels good to get this day over with,” Koch said. “I had a really good race car but it was tough to balance by being conservative and being too conservative and getting yourself caught up in a mess. In the middle of the race we got my car really good and regrouped and was running in the top 10 but we made the wrong adjustment for that last restart and got a 15th-place finish instead of a 10th-place finish, where I think we should have been.

“I’m ready for Kentucky and that’s what we’re going to think about after tomorrow’s over and I get to have

Sunday and enjoy it with the family.

It’s a big accomplishment making the Chase but on Monday, we’ll focus on Kentucky.”

After winning the NASCAR Truck Series title last year in a non-Chase format, Jones realizes that he’ll have to approach things differently if he plans to capture another championship.

“I’m excited that it is the Chase and the opportunity to make it to Homestead and have a shot at the championship, but it’s almost the same thing I’m leery about,” Jones said. “There’s no way to give yourself a cushion to go into Homestead. Not like last year in the truck series, where we had a 30-point lead going in and we had to finish 24th or better.

“Hey, we get our stuff there, ride around all day, take our finish and we win. This year, that’s not there.

You have to go to Homestead with the mentality you have to win the race.

It’s exciting, and I’m looking forward to it.”

VIEWS Dick Goss Predicting success for JGR is easy. Busch comes to town first in the driver standings, Hamlin third, Edwards fifth and Kenseth seventh.

Busch has won four races this season, Hamlin three and Kenseth two.

In the elimination-style Chase playoff format, drivers who win one of the three races in the Round of 16 advance to the Round 12. Win a race in the subsequent three and advancement to the Round of 8 is assured.

Win one in the next three and you are in the Championship Round at Homestead-Miami. So wins are huge, and JGR drivers have been claiming more than their share.

The rest of the Chase competitors include second-place Brad Keselowski, who like Busch has four wins this season, along with fourth-place

Kevin Harvick, sixth-place Martin Truex Jr. and eighth-place Jimmie Johnson, each of whom has won twice this season.

Joey Logano, who is ninth, 10thplace Kyle Larson and 11th-place Tony Stewart, who has won at Chicagoland three times through the years, should be in the conversation of potential race winners Sunday.

If you want to go with someone other than a JGR entrant, Keselowski and Harvick certainly have checked enough boxes on their resumes to not only win here, but to go on and win the season championship. This is the sixth straight year where the Chase has started at Chicagoland. Keselowski won here in 2012 and 2014. Stewart won in 2011, Kenseth in 2013 and Hamlin is the defending race champion.

If you’re looking for a long shot, how about a Hendrick Motorsports driver? Among the young Chase qualifiers, Chase Elliott is interesting. He has had some strong races

but has not broken through yet.

Of course, the name driver for Hendrick Motorsports is Johnson, who is bidding to tie Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Richard Petty for the all-time lead in season championships with his seventh. Since the beginning of June, however, Johnson has not been faring well by his standards, yet a victory here would go a long way toward getting things going in a good direction.

Who knows, perhaps this will be the first time someone who did not qualify for the Chase will wind up in Victory Lane at Chicagoland Speedway.

All of that being said, I’ll go with Kenseth to win Sunday’s race and Harvick to go on to take the season championship. If both are eliminated in the Round of 16, I plan to invoke one of those Yogi Berra-type lines: I didn’t say what I said.

NASCAR

Kyle Busch collects on his truck annuity

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Three things happen at Chicagoland Speedway in the late summer: Sales of earplugs go skyhigh, scenarios about the about-tostart Sprint Cup playoffs abound, and Kyle Busch collects in the truck race.

He did so for the fifth time in six starts on Friday night, winning the American Ethanol e15 225 while surviving the spinning cars and flying shrapnel created by 10 caution periods.

Busch led a majority of the laps to beat Daniel Hemric to the checkered flag by 0.139 seconds on the 151st lap, the race extended one circuit by the final caution. Cameron Hayley, driving a truck prepared by Busch’s team, was third.

Busch’s truck failed a post-race inspection, NASCAR officials said Saturday morning. It was too low in the rear, which will probably result in a fine in the middle of next week.

“It’s just been a real good place for us and KBM over the years,” Busch said in Victory Lane as rain began to fall.

It’s been more than real good.

Counting all three NASCAR series,

“It’s just been a real good place for us and KBM over the years.”

Kyle Busch

Stock car racing driver

Busch has 10 victories at Chicagoland: a Sprint Cup win in 2008, Xfinity circuit wins in 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2015, and truck series wins in the 2009 inaugural, 2010, 2013, 2014 and Friday night. In his other truck start on the 1.52-mile oval, he ran fifth.

What does he know that everyone else does not?

“I know a little bit,” Busch said.

“But I’m always interested in learning more. I want more Sprint Cup wins. One thing is, as it’s worn out, you can run all over the track, but tonight the groove was toward the bottom. It’s a fun racetrack.”

It was for him, at least. With no more than 5,000 spectators in the grandstand, plus hundreds more atop their campers, Busch started eighth under the big possum-hunting moon and quickly became a factor, into fourth after six laps and

third on lap 11. A 14.2-second pit stop, the best of the leaders on lap 48, gave him the lead for the first time.

He never fell out of the top four, and eventually led 95 of the 151 laps en route to the 46th victory of his truck career and 168th in NASCAR’s three national series overall. The co-top seed in the Sprint Cup playoffs that commence with Sunday’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400, he also ran in Saturday’s Xfinity series race.

The race ended on a green-whitechecker finish – and under caution thanks to Rico Abreu being punted into the wall – but Hemric didn’t see how he’d be able to catch Busch, much less beat him.

“At the end of the day we struggled,” Hemric said. “We had no speed to really run with him. If I wasn’t pushing Kyle, I wouldn’t have finished second.”

The 10 cautions for 41 laps made the race the slowest of the eight truck races at Chicagoland, with Busch averaging 108.646 mph. Beating the rain, it was the first truck race here not delayed to Saturday since 2013.

The biggest accident brought about a red flag on the 112th of 150 laps when Johnny Sauter clipped the

left rear of Gallagher Racing teammate Ben Kennedy’s car with his right front, sending Kennedy spinning into the wall and into the paths of Ben Rhodes, who clipped him, and Matt Crafton, who belted him. Kennedy ended up with a pair of bandaged fingers on his right hand and was scheduled to get X-rays on Saturday morning.

The others were all right, but there was enough shrapnel on the track, plus damage to the SAFER barrier, for the stewards to display the red flag, stopping proceedings for 14 minutes.

Cole Custer, hammered into the wall by winner John Wes Townley at the end of last week’s race at Mosport, needed to win to advance to the truck playoffs. He had climbed into second place with a 15-second pit stop during the third caution, but was caught speeding off pit road, fell out of the top 15, then was involved in a scrape that punted Grant Enfinger into the infield, and eventually finished 10th.

Busch was ahead of that, and all the other scraps large and small, all night.

• Sunday, September 18, 2016

NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers have been known to run out of gas as the race nears the finish.

They get involved in accidents, either of their own accord because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time or because another driver is out to gain a measure of revenge for a previous dust-up.

Parts on their cars can break.

Tires can be blown. Strategic mistakes happen.

There are myriad reasons why the best car and the best driver do not win on a given day.

The Chase for the Sprint Cup opens Sunday afternoon at Chicagoland Speedway with the running of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400. Considering the way Joe Gibbs Racing has been performing as a team, smart money in this race – and to win the season championship – probably is on someone from the quartet of Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth in their Toyota Camrys.

Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt throws a pass during the first quarter against Western Michigan on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Champaign. fense.

While Western Michigan shoved Illinois down the field, the Illini could barely sustain a drive. Unable to run, their only touchdown came on a trick play, a reverse flea flicker that ended with quarterback Wes Lunt hitting tight end Ainslee Johnson deep down the right sideline to cut the Western Michigan lead to 21-7 midway through the second quarter.

Talking about a fourth-and-1 stop by the Broncos in the first half, Illinois coach Lovie Smith summed up the Illini’s afternoon.

“They beat us up front,” he said. “We knew it was going to be about our line.

They know we’re running, and of course we are running. Now, who’s a better man?”

The two wins over Big Ten teams in a season is a first for Western Michigan, and just the fourth time a Mid-American Conference team has two wins over Big Ten opposition in one season.

CHAMPAIGN – Western Michigan came to Illinois on Saturday as threepoint favorites to pick up its second win in three weeks over a Big Ten team.

Maybe that line should have been a little bigger.

The Broncos (3-0) knocked off Illinois 34-10, two weeks after beating Northwestern on the road, 22-21.

Western Michigan looked the part of a Big Ten team for much of the game Saturday, pushing the Illini (1-2) around the field. The Broncos held Illinois to 3 yards rushing while they piled up 287 yards on 54 carries.

Sophomore running back Jamauri Bogan led Western Michigan with 189 yards on 24 carries, including a pair of long touchdowns.

Bogan now has 425 yards – 6.8 a carry – and four touchdowns. He praised an offensive line that dominated the Illini defensive line, considered the strength of the Illinois team.

“Line came to play,” he said. “It’s always the guys around me that allow things to happen when we play good football games.”

Broncos coach P.J. Fleck celebrated the win with fans who made the trip and said his team was never overwhelmed by the idea of facing another Big Ten team.

“They never flinched; they weren’t going to be intimidated,” he said, while trying to play down the significance of beating Illinois on the road. “It’s no bigger or less than any other win.”

Western Michigan opened up a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter and finished the afternoon with 437 yards of of-

50 FRIDAY: CUBS 5, BREWERS 4 (10 INN.)

CUBS KNOW HOW TO PARTY And keep their eye on the bigger prize

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is sprayed with beer and sparkling wine by teammates as they celebrate their NL Central title after the Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4, in 10 innings Friday at Wrigley Field.

CHICAGO – With the music turned up full blast, the lights turned down low and the beer spraying, the champagne flowing and owner Tom Ricketts doing shots, the Cubs’ clubhouse turned into a night club gone haywire Friday in a celebration that was both a long time coming and yet – the Cubs hope – just the first step toward Chicago baseball immortality.

The Cubs celebrated like they hadn’t won a division title in 108 years Friday.

But they earned the right with one of the most dominant seasons a Chicago baseball team has ever had – clinching the National League Central Division title with 16 games to go.

“We just won one of the toughest divisions in all of baseball and we did it by a landslide,” first basebman Anthony Rizzo said. “We have to celebrate this because we’ve been so good all year. Guys have been

grinding all year. This is a huge steppingstone to where we want to be and we’re going to celebrate every way along the way.”

And at the same time, the Cubs were steadfast about keeping the big picture in focus. This team expects to win the World Series.

“There’s much more left for the team,” pitcher Kyle Hendricks said. “This is only the first baby step. We know where we want to go, and it’s a lot more than just the division.”

A year ago, the Cubs finKyle ished third in the Central Hendricks and made the playoffs as the second wild-card team.

This group basked in the satisfaction of raising the bar themselves and exceeding it. You don’t have to win your division to win the World Series. But this team took a huge step by winning the Central this season.

“This is what we preached in spring training is win the division,” Rizzo said.

“We put ourselves in position to line ourselves up with how we want to attack the playoffs (and) whoever we play. So enjoy

it, let it sink in for a few days and get ready for October.”

After clinching the division when the Giants beat the Cardinals on the West Coast on Thursday night, the Cubs (94-53) were going to celebrate whether they won or lost Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

But in typical fashion, they found a way to make the moment special, with a thrilling 5-4 vicory on Miguel Montero’s walk-off home run leading off the 10th inning.

With a make-shift lineup that did not include Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, Ben Zobrist, Dexter Fowler or Jason Heyward, the Cubs trailed 4-2 in the ninth, but rallied behind Willson Contreras, Chris Coghlan and Russell to tie the score in the ninth. It was only a matter of time after that, and Montero ended it quickly, setting an appropriate mood for the raucous celebtration that followed.

“The perfect way – a walk-off win and we come in here to celebrate. It doesn’t get any better than that,” Bryant said. “This team has so much resilience. We’re never going to give up. You saw that in the game today. Perfect game, the way we won. I haven’t had this much fun playing baseball in a long time.”

ROYALS 3, WHITE SOX 2

Vargas returns as Royals top Sox The ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Manager Ned Yost was unsure what to expect from his starting pitcher.

JarrodDysonhadtwohits,scoredarun and stole a base in Jason Vargas’ first start in 14 months, and the Kansas City Royals beat the White Sox, 3-2, on Saturday night to snap a five-game losing streak.

Vargas, who was making his first start in 423 days after having Tommy John surgery on August 5, 2015, gave up a

first-inning run on Melky Cabrera’s RBI single, but retired eight of the last nine batters he faced.

“He was a little better than I expected,” Yost said. “It’s been 14 months since he’s been on a major league mound and his first big league start since coming off Tommy John. I don’t know how you have expectations on anything like that.

You just want to go out, feel good and get through it and come off of it healthy, on a good note. I think we accomplished all those things tonight.”

Bob Zak hopes to return to the airwaves one day

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

PLAINFIELD – Video didn’t kill the radio star. The new ways people receive their music did.

Radio veteran Bob Zak of Plainfield hopes to return to the airwaves soon.

Zak recently left 95.9 The River (WERV), where he had worked for the last 13 years. On July 26, Zak said the radio station notified him that station management was reducing its workforce.

“When I started in radio, I was playing records and tapes. That’s all gone,” Zak said. “When I started, you were picking out your own music.

Local bands would show up at your station and ask, ‘Can you listen to this record?’ and if you liked it, you played it. Now all the music is stored on a hard drive in the computer.”

A 30-plus career in radio is darn good for a former shy kid who didn’t do well in school, but did spend hours tuning into his idols, Larry Lujack on Chicago’s WCFL and WLS and Frank O’Leary on Joliet’s WJOL, and longing to emulate them.

“There wasn’t anyone in town who didn’t know who Frank O’Leary was,” Zak said. “Both shared an amazing ability to communicate with people and make it feel like you were the only one they were talking to.”

O’Leary was so conversational, people forgot he was interviewing them, Zak said. O’Leary steered away from the typical questions and drew out the other person’s personality and interests, he added.

Zak especially liked Lujack’s ability to weave anecdotes among the songs and make the entire broadcast fun. Zak recalled Lujack playing The Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand” several times in a row because Lujack loved the song.

“I had not heard anyone like him,” Zak said.

Inspired by these radio personalities, Zak pursued his own career. Over the years, he’s worked at 14 outlets.

Zak said he was inducted in 2014 into the City of Joliet’s Hall of Fame in the Business/Philanthropy category.

After 30-plus years in Joliet and Chicago radio, veteran Bob Zak is concentrating on his marketing work and playing drums in his band.

Zak hopes to return to radio one day.

Beginnings and endings

“For me, it started it at JJC, where I had some phenomenal teachers who first brought out my ability to communicate via writing,” Zak said. “From there I went to USF and thought, ‘Well, I guess I can write, but can I talk?’

And I was lucky to enough to have Art Hellyer as a professor. He taught me so much and brought me out of my shell.”

With an attitude of “I think I can do this,” Zak mastered the equipment, practiced – and then practiced some more. After graduation, Zak began his radio career as a news writer and reporter at WJRC in Joliet.

That same year – 1983 – Zak also became the host of the station’s morning drive and Saturday’s “Golden Oldies” show.

In 1984, Zak went to WCCQ in Crest Hill as morning announcer and program director, the same time the station initiated its country music format. In 1985, Zak became the afternoon show host at WJOL. In the evenings, Zak played Top 40 music on WJOL’s sister station, WLLI. Five years later, Zak left WJOL to host the midday show on WCFL in Chi-

cago, an oldies station. Two years later, Zak was back at the University of St. Francis – this time, as an employee.

In this role, Zak taught, managed the university radio station, and launched the popular and ongoing “Spirit of Christmas” radio program, which plays nonstop holiday music from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. While working at the university, Zak also was on the air at two local radio stations. One was WJTW in Joliet and the other was WCSJ radio in Morris, where Zak hosted a weekend talk show.

In the 1990s, Zak appeared on two Chicago classic rock stations before settling down at 95.9 The River in Naperville, where Zak began as a weekend host. Before long, Zak was on the air seven days a week, every week night and every weekend day.

By then, people were connecting with and acquiring music in different ways, electronically and through streaming.

In this changing industry, Zak changed, too.

“You start lying in bed at night thinking, ‘I can write. I can commu-

nicate,’” Zak said. “What we’re doing [on radio stations] is communicating information. A lot of it is based on promoting other people’s businesses.

I thought, ‘I can do that. I can translate that into doing marketing. What I learned all those years in radio I applied to helping companies achieve their objectives.”

What’s missing today from radio is the “fun factor, the human factor.”

There’s signs Zak isn’t the only one missing them. For instance, he said, vinyl is having a resurgence – not among the older crowd as one might expect, but among young people who enjoy interacting with the cover art and the liner notes, which online music can’t provide.

Zak wants to return to radio someday, but he’s realistic about his chances, too.

“The choices are becoming more limited,” Zak said. “There’s less out there than there was before. Lots of radio stations are corporately owned, basically broadcasting from a satellite in L.A. or New York. The localization is not there. But I’m exploring it and not ruling anything out at this point.”

Help is available for caregivers Dear Dr K: I’m the primary caregiver for my ill, elderly father. I’m exhausted and upset all the time. What can I do to lighten my load without costing us much? Neither of us is well off.

Dear Reader: You’re not alone. Approximately one in five American adults helps an elderly or disabled family member with the daily tasks of life. This caregiving runs the gamut from grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning house, to helping with baths and personal hygiene or providing hands-on medical care.

That’s often in addition to caring for other family members and holding down a paid job.

Caregiving may be one of the most worthwhile jobs you’ll ever undertake, but it can be exhausting. It can cause immense strain, which may lead to depression and health problems.

Here are some budget-conscious tips to help you take care of yourself: • Always accept help when it’s offered.

Create a list of very specific things you would love to have help with, so you can request something specific when help is offered.

• Tap into religious communities. A religious or spiritual community can be a strong source of assistance if you or the person you are caring for belongs to one.

• Support groups are a good place to share ideas and experiences with other caregivers. There are quite a number of support groups for caregivers on the internet. Just type “caregiving support groups” into a search engine.

• Look for government-supported services. You might be surprised by how many services your father may be eligible for. These are services provided by local or state governments, or by the

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff federal government. Ask your doctor for the name of a social worker who can work with the two of you. Particularly if your father is on Medicare, he may be eligible for help in cleaning the home, personal hygiene, and even “Meals on Wheels” delivered to the home.

• Stay connected. Catch up with friends regularly. Establish a weekly walk with a friend or an occasional lunch or movie.

• Clear your schedule. Set aside a regular time to spend with your partner or family, away from home.

• Stay active. Try to get 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, most days of the week.

• Enjoy yourself. Listen to music, enjoy a luxurious bath, take a yoga class or do a jigsaw puzzle. Regular time off can renew your spirit and energy. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be in very good shape to take care of your father.

• Ease stress. Learn meditation or other relaxation techniques.

I never have had to be a caregiver for a member of my family, but many of my patients have been in that position.

Their personal sacrifice and dedication inspire me. But sometimes they need help to lighten their load. Often that help is available, but they have to be proactive to find it.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Group of friends splinters following sleepover snub Dear Abby: My 11-year-old daughter recently asked to have a sleepover with some of her best friends. She’s part of a “club” with five other girls.

Four of them are her best friends, so she invited them. However, my daughter is not close with the fifth girl, “Debbie.” They don’t hang out at school and barely hang out during their club activities.

When Debbie’s mother found out my daughter had invited the others, she accused me of excluding Debbie intentionally. I received a rude text from her telling me they were quitting the club.

In the past, we have gone above and beyond to keep her daughter included in the club activities, but when it comes to my daughter wanting to hang out with her friends outside of that, I feel she should be able

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to invite whoever she wants. Should I have made my daughter invite Debbie to her sleepover even though they aren’t really friends? – “Mean Mom” Dear “Mean Mom”: Obviously, Debbie is close enough with some of the other girls they told her about the sleepover. Your daughter may not like Debbie as much as she likes the other “club” members – which seems more like a clique to me – but I don’t think that’s a reason to exclude or attempt to isolate her. Because all of the other girls were asked, Debbie should not have been snubbed. For a moment, put yourself in her shoes.

NEIGHBOR

Dear Abby: I have many friends with grandchildren, two of whom love to show me photos of them. I don’t mind looking at a few, but recently, during a two-hour lunch, one friend insisted on showing me pictures and videos the entire time. I swear I’m not exaggerating. Another friend has four five-minute videos I’m supposed to watch.

I show pictures of my grandchildren only occasionally. Would it be rude if, the next time this happens, I say something like, “I’d love to see a couple, but remember – I have eight grandchildren and more than 700 photos and videos on MY phone”? –

Bleary-Eyed in California Dear Bleary-Eyed: I don’t think it

would be rude. It might be an effective reminder that granny-bragging is a two-way street.

Volunteer.

Dear Abby: My niece is soliciting donations for her boyfriend’s young daughter’s upcoming operation. I’m hesitant because they both smoke, and with the price of cigarettes these days, it’s taking a chunk out of his paycheck – not to mention the health risks. I realize the child isn’t to blame. Should we go ahead and donate, knowing some it is being used to finance their tobacco habit? – No

Fan of Smoking Dear No Fan Of Smoking: This is

not a referendum on smoking; it’s a request for help to pay for needed surgery for a child. Yes, you should give them a donation if you have it to spare.

At times, a bridge player may be distracted by an opponent’s welltimed falsecard. Then, usually, relying on the mathematics will hold him in good stead.

Today, South is in three spades.

What is the best defense? How should South play?

North’s negative double showed four spades. East’s balancing double indicated a maximum raise with three-card heart support. (With four hearts, he would have competed to three hearts, getting to the nine-trick level with nine trumps.) When West ran to three hearts, North did well to take the push to three spades because three hearts would have made (with an overtrick if North had led a spade).

West led the heart ace: three, two (discouraging), jack. When West continued with the heart queen, East played his 10, the higher card asking for a diamond shift, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits. West did as asked, so East took two tricks in the suit before exiting with a club to dummy’s eight.

South had to play the trump suit without loss. This seemed to require East’s having king-doubleton, but when declarer played a spade to his jack, West dropped a sneaky 10.

He was trying to look like someone with 10-nine-doubleton. However, South knew that that was much less likely than a singleton 10 or 10-9-x.

Declarer ruffed his third diamond in the dummy and led the spade eight, planning to run it. But when the king appeared, he claimed.
